About this title

Synopsis

Provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, including:

• Rubber elasticity
• Viscoelasticity
• Anisotropic mechanical behaviour
• Yield and fracture

Also discusses the molecular and structural interpretations of the mechanical behaviour of solid polymers, emphasising the physical approach. Following on from the highly successful Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers, 2nd edition, it introduces the subject at a less specialised level and comes complete with worked examples, mathematical appendices, extensive references and comprehensive index.

From the Back Cover

An Introduction to the Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, including:

• rubber elasticity
• viscoelasticity
• anisotropic mechanical behaviour
• yield and fracture

The book discusses the molecular and structural interpretations of the mechanical behaviour of solid polymers, emphasizing the physical approach.
This volume follows on from the highly successful Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers, 2nd Edition, but introduces the subject at a less specialized level, before leading the reader on to all the major topics in this field.
Complete with worked examples, mathematical appendices, extensive references and comprehensive index, this volume will prove essential reading for students of materials science, chemistry, physics or engineering studing polymer science. It will also prove a highly useful reference for research workers in the industrial or academic environment.
