This graduate text on viscoelastic materials addresses design applications as diverse as earplugs, computer disks and medical diagnostics.

Viscoelastic Solids covers the mathematical theory of viscoelasticity and physical insights, causal mechanisms, and practical applications. The book: presents a

The enormous size of polymer molecules causes their molecular motions to span a broad range of length scales and give rise to viscoelastic behaviour. This rate-

This pioneering book presents the basic theory, experimental methods, experimental results and solution of boundary value problems in a readable, useful way to

Engineering Viscoelasticity covers all aspects of the thermo- mechanical response of viscoelastic substances that a practitioner in the field of viscoelasticity
