The theory of viscoelasticity specifies the relationship between stress and strain in materials. Viscoelastic Solids presents this theory as well as the physical insights, causal mechanisms, and practical applications. It also demonstrates the use of viscoelasticity for diverse applications, such as earplugs, gaskets, computer disks, satellite stability, medical diagnosis, injury prevention, vibration abatement, tire performance, sports, spacecraft explosions, and music. The book makes...
More DescriptionThe theory of viscoelasticity specifies the relationship between stress and strain in materials. Viscoelastic Solids presents this theory as well as the physical insights, causal mechanisms, and practical applications. It also demonstrates the use of viscoelasticity for diverse applications, such as earplugs, gaskets, computer disks, satellite stability, medical diagnosis, injury prevention, vibration abatement, tire performance, sports, spacecraft explosions, and music. The book makes the subject accessible and useful for a variety of disciplines in engineering and experimental physical science, including mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering.
