دانلود کتاب Creep and Relaxation of Nonlinear Viscoelastic Materials - With an Introduction to Linear Viscoelasticity

This pioneering book presents basic theory, experimental methods and results, solution of boundary value problems in a readable, useful way to designers as well as research workers and students. The mathematical background required has been kept to a minimum and supplemented by explanations where it has been necessary to introduce specialized mathematics. Also, appendices have been included to provide sufficient background in Laplace transforms and in step functions. Topics include creep, stress and strain, deformation analyses, multiple integral representation of nonlinear creep and relaxation, much more. Content:• Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents 1.
