Abstract

Rheology in the highly viscous liquid and the glassy state is reviewed and discussed. A distribution relaxation time due to the co-operative molecular motion is exhibited both in the highly viscous liquid and in the glassy states. However, only in the glassy state has the structure been frozen-in at some particular internal state resulting from the incomplete establishment of a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Therefore, the intrinsic non-linear rheological behaviour of the glassy state is explained from the physical and thermodynamic aspects in the glass transformation region. The volume relaxation of soda-lime-silica glass and the thermal history of glass during forming process have been studied. Finally, the role of rheology in thermal stress and fracture mechanics is also mentioned, which subsequently will allow us to re-evaluate the mechanisms of toughening and weakening of composite materials.
