Riande Evaristo e.a. (Ed). Polymer viscoelasticity: stress and strain in practice

Marcel Dekker, Inc. , 2000, NYб Pages: 879
Showcasing vital engineering applications to transient and dynamic pertubations of macromolecular materials, structural recovery's role in mechanical responses in the glassy state, and viscoelastic parameters that condition the non-Newtonian behaviour of polymers, this work presents a systematic account of the responses of macromolecular materials to mechanical force fields. It focuses on the most important features of the linear stress-strain relationships for ideal solids and liquids.
