Opis

A physical, mechanism-based presentation of the plasticity and fracture of polymers, covering industrial scale applications through to nanoscale biofluidic devices.

Recenzje

'This is an excellent book on inelastic deformation and fracture of polymers from a mechanistic point of view. It is written by a leading researcher who has studied this subject at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for more than thirty years. A large part of the book is based on the author's own contribution to the field. It is concisely written yet contains sufficient details. This book is a good reference for graduate students as well as engineers in the field.' SuPing Lyu, MRS Bulletin
