Amorphous polymers present dynamical heterogeneities at the scale of 3 to 5nm near Tg. Their contributions to mechanical properties are still not well known. We thus consider a simple model where each dynamical heterogeneities has its own relaxation time randomly drawn is a log-normal time distribution. A coarse –grained model at the dynamical heterogeneity is then developed in the continuous medium approximation. Finite element simulations are performed to calculate macroscopic mechanical properties of amorphous polymers taking account of mechanical couplings between heterogeneities. We show that the glass transition is controlled by a percolation of slow domains. Mechanical couplings result in viscoelastic spectrum highly narrowed as comp...
