Book Description | This book 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. Introductory material on fundamental mechanics is included to provide a continuous baseline for readers from all disciplines. Introductory material on the chemical and molecular basis of polymers is also included, which is essential to the understanding of the thermomechanical response. This self-contained text covers the viscoelastic characterization of polymers including constitutive modeling, experimental methods, thermal response, and stress and failure analysis. Example problems are provided within the text as well as at the end of each chapter. |
About the Author | Dr. Hal F. Brinson is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston. Dr. L Catherine Brinson is Professor and Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. |
