Viscoelasticity of Engineering Materials [Paperback]

Preface. List of symbols. Introduction. Continuum mechanics background. Linear viscoelasticity. Transition to dynamic viscoelasticity. Three-dimensional linear viscoelasticity. Thermoviscoelasticity. Transition to nonlinear viscoelasticity. Numerical analysis in viscoelasticity. Wave propagation. Viscoelastic boundary value problem. Extension of the phenomenological theory of viscoelasticity to include microscopic effects. Appendices. Index.`...most of the more recent texts on the subject approach viscoelasticity from the point of view of the physicist or materials scientist; complex materials are considered under simple stress and strain regimes. The engineer, of course, is often concerned with complex regimes... Haddad has made a welcome, and...successful attempt to explicate these matters.'
