      abstract = {This book provides a unified mechanics and materials  perspective on polymers: both the mathematics of  viscoelasticity theory as well as the physical mechanisms  behind polymer deformation processes. Introductory material  on fundamental mechanics is included to provide a  continuous baseline for readers from all disciplines.  Introductory material on the chemical and molecular basis  of polymers is also included, which is essential to the  understanding of the thermomechanical response. This  self-contained text covers the viscoelastic  characterization of polymers including constitutive  modeling, experimental methods, thermal response, and  stress and failure analysis. Example problems are provided  within the text as well as at the end of each chapter. New  to this edition: · One new chapter on the use of  nano-material inclusions for structural polymer  applications and applications such as fiber-reinforced  polymers and adhesively bonded structures · Brings  up-to-date polymer production and sales data and equipment  and procedures for evaluating polymer characterization and  classification · The work serves as a comprehensive  reference for advanced seniors seeking graduate level  courses, first and second year graduate students, and  practicing engineers},
