A scalar model predicts the brittle-to-ductile transition strain rate in amorphous polymers as inversely proportional to the beta-relaxation time, with computed values agreeing with data for three polymers.
The model is based on the idea that the BDT can be visualized as the failure of the system to dissipate absorbed energy fast enough to maintain a uniform flow
