Product Description Viscoelastic Solids covers the mathematical theory of viscoelasticity and physical insights, causal mechanisms, and practical applications. The book:opresents a development of the theory, addressing both transient and dynamic aspects as well as emphasizing linear viscoelasticityosynthesizes the structure of the theory with the aim of developing physical insightoillustrates the methods for the solution of stress analysis problems in viscoelastic objectsoexplores experimental methods for the characterization of viscoelastic materialsodescribes the phenomenology of viscoelasticity in a variety of materials, including polymers, metals, high damping alloys, rock, piezoelectric materials, cellular solids, dense composite materials, and biological materialsoanalyzes high damping and extremely low dampingoprovides the theory of viscoelastic composite materials, including examples of various types of structure and the relationships between structure and mechanical propertiesocontains examples on the use of viscoelastic materials in preventing and alleviating human sufferingViscoelastic Solids 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. | ||
