This book focuses on the mechanical response in viscoelastic media under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The viscoelastic response covered in this book is observed in a wide variety of common materials: polymers and plastics, metals and alloys at elevated temperatures, concrete, soils, road construction and building materials, biological ...
This text provides a systematic and self-consistent introduction to the non nlinear continuum mechanics of solids, from the main axioms to aspects of the theory. The objective is to expose the most intriguing aspects of elasticity and viscoelasticity with finite strains in such a way as to ensure mathematical correctness, on the one hand, and to ...
The use of new media such as polymers and composite materials and the growing use of wider classes of non-linear function-differential equations has explained the growing interest in viscoelastic stability in many branches of the physical sciences. This study covers the basic mathematical models for the deformation of a viscoelastic material, the ...
