Polymer Engineering Science and Viscoelasticity: An Introduction provides a unified mechanics and materials perspective on polymers: both the mathematics of viscoelasticity theory, as well as the physical mechanisms behind polymer deformation processes. Written for advanced seniors seeking graduate level courses, first and second year graduate students and practicing engineers, this volume describes the relationship between mechanical properties and the basic molecular structure and mechanisms associated with the performance of structures made from polymer based materials.
Subject: Chemistry and Materials Science, Polymer, constitutive modeling, differential constitutive equations, elasticity, modeling, nonlinear viscoelasticity, polymer deformation processes, rate and time-dependent failure, stress and strain analysis, thermomechanical response, viscoelastic characterization of polymers, viscoelasticity
