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

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

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

Applications of Viscoelasticity: Bituminous Materials Characterization and Modeling starts with an introduction to the theory of viscoelasticity, emphasizing it
