The theory of linear viscoelasticity /

This concise introduction to the concepts of viscoelasticity focuses on stress analysis. Three detailed individual sections present examples of stress-related problems. In addition, it explains procedures for model fitting to measured values of complex modulus or compliance. The text begins with an...
