Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers
The latest edition of the definitive guide on the mechanical behaviors of polymers In the newly revised fourth edition of Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of all aspects of the mechanical behavior of solid polymers. The book explores finite elastic behavior, linear viscoelasticity, mechanical relaxations, mechanical anisotropy, non-linear viscoelasticity, yield behavior, and fracture. The authors emphasize biopolymers - as opposed to petrochemical-based polymers - and incorporate a great deal of computational, numerical, and simulation content. They offer extensive discussions of the effects of recycling, as well as nanocomposites - including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other materials. Readers will also find: * An updated comprehensive account of the properties of solid polymers * Discussions of the behaviors of polymers through the mathematical techniques of solid mechanics * Accounts of the influence of morphology on mechanics * Examples of the application of numerical methods Perfect for academics, researchers and industrial scientists, Mechanical Properties of Solid Polymers will also benefit students of materials science, physics, and chemistry students.
