Product Description Showcasing vital engineering applications to transient and dynamic pertubations of macromolecular materials, structural recovery's role in mechanical responses in the glassy state, and viscoelastic parameters that condition the non-Newtonian behaviour of polymers, this work presents a systematic account of the responses of macromolecular materials to mechanical force fields. It focuses on the most important features of the linear stress-strain relationships for ideal solids and liquids. Review ". . .an excellent tool for self-study as well as for teaching the subject of polymer visco-elasticity....the subject material is logically organized and the book is well-written. The figures are excellent and the solved problems are appropriately illustrative....one of the most comprehensive sources on polymer viscoelasticity." ---Polymer News
