A continuum mechanical model for rubber‐toughened polymers undergoing inelastic deformation solely by distributed crazing is introduced. Scaling relations with regard to microstructural parameters are derived analytically from a simple unit cell model. The constitutive model is calibrated from experimental data for a commercial ABS material and well captures various aspects of its deformation and failure behaviour.
