Opis

This book provides a unified, comprehensive presentation of the foundations of the theory of viscoelastic solids. The large subject area is separated into self-contained chapters that give a full, complete picture and allow a thorough understanding of the current status and future direction of individual topics.

Recenzje

`...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.'
