61. 0 and a are intended to be interpreted generally; they need not necessarily correspond to the interaction potentials employed in our simulations.
62. Other recent work relates the rate dependence and nonlinearity of strain hardening to an Eyring-like model in which the activation volume V decreases with increasing strain. In contrast, we predict that V increases. An important difference between the approaches is that in the Eyring-like models, V is a parameter with the dimensions of volume rather than a physical volume.
63. Similar ambiguities arise in theoretical prediction of the melt plateau modulus G N 0 from chain microstructure: W. W. Graessley and S. F. Edwards, Polymer 22, 1329 (1981). 10.1016/0032-3861(81)90231-7

71. This asymmetry has been treated in other work (see, e.g., Refs.) and could, in principle, be treated by modifying W s appropriately.
72. Senden also treated glassy polymers as Neohookean viscoelastoplastics using a continuum model with a phenomenological mixing of reversible and irreversible contributions to the stress.
73. Interestingly, our theoretical stress-strain curves are remarkably similar to those in preoriented systems where deformation is applied along the preorientation direction: see, e.g., Fig. 1(b) of Ref. and Fig. 3(b) of Ref..
