Summary

Covers the behaviour of polymers with regard to material variables and test and use conditions. This book highlights general principles, useful empirical rules and practical equations. Detailing the specific behaviour of many common polymers, it places emphasis on time and frequency dependence over temperature dependence.

Mechanical Properties of Polymers and Composites by Robert F Landel

This text, now in its second edition, offers an up-to-date, expanded treatment of the behaviour of polymers with regard to material variables and test and use conditions. It highlights general principles, useful empirical rules and practical equations.;Detailing the specific behaviour of many common polymers, the text: places emphasis on time and frequency dependence over temperature dependence; uses contemporary molecular mechanisms to explain creep, stress relaxation, constant strain rate responses and crazing; provides explicit equations to predict responses; supplies a discussion of large deformation multiaxial responses; compares statistical and continuum theories on the same data set; and updates stress-strain behaviour and particulate filled systems.

". .there just isn't another book that deals with all the mechanical properties of polymers and composite materials in as simple. . .correct and still very comprehensive manner. . . Anyone who wants to gain a real understanding of the mechanical properties of polymers and composite materials should own [this book]. "
---Polymer Letters Edition
"It is a pleasure to record the appearance of this. . .book on polymers and composites. . .the author has presented much useful material in a stimulating and readily assimilable form. . . . . .basic enough for students and newcomers to the field to understand. . .However, at the same time, it contains enough detail to interest the polymer specialist.
