Introducing and demonstrating the utility of computational tools and simulations, Mechanics of Solid Polymers provides a modern view of how solid polymers behave, how they can be experimentally characterized, and how to predict their behavior in different load environments. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReflecting the significant progress made in the understanding of polymer behaviour over the last two decades, this book will discuss recent developments and compare them to classical theories. The book shows how best to make use of commercially available finite element software to solve polymer mechanics problems, introducing readers to the current state of the art in predicting failure using a combination of experiment and computational techniques. Case studies and example Matlab code are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs industry and academia are increasingly reliant on advanced computational mechanics software to implement sophisticated constitutive models – and authoritative information is hard to find in one place - this book provides engineers with what they need to know to make best use of the technology available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction and Overview \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Experimental Characterization Techniques \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Finite Element Analysis as an Engineering Tool \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Continuum Mechanics Foundations \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Elasticity \/ Hyperelasticity \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Linear Viscoelasticity \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Plasticity Models \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Viscoplasticity Models \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Determination of Material Parameters from Experimental Data \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 User Material Subroutines \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Material Modeling of Different Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e], Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Plastics%20\u0026amp;%20polymers%20technology%20%5BTDCP%5D%22\"\u003eTDCP\u003c\/a\u003e], Solid state chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Solid state chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Solid%20state%20chemistry%20%5BPNRS%5D%22\"\u003ePNRS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"William Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648524603672,"sku":"9780323311502","price":125.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780323311502.jpg?v=1694988930","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mechanics-of-solid-polymers-theory-and-computational-modeling-hardback-9780323311502","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
