Here is a short summary document (http://polymerfem.com/polymer_files/xlpe.pdf) and tutorial about classical linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity, fatigue, and fracture. The theory is exemplified by application to crosslinked polyethylene (xlpe).
The document summarizes some of the strengths and limitations of traditional linear viscoelasticity, and of macroscale fracture and fatigue modeling.
