Overview
- Facilitates conceptual understanding by progressing in each chapter from elementary to challenging material
- Examines in detail both differential and integral constitutive equations, devoting full chapters to each type and using both forms in applications throughout the book
- Presents variational principles and energy theorems from a practical point of view, using these to develop computational tools such as the viscoelastic equivalent of the Unit-Load and the Unit-Displacement theorems
- Provides more than 50 examples, solved in detail, and detailed solution guides (hints) to all given problems
- Features solutions manual, code segments to curve-fit WLF time-temperature shift and Dirichlet-Prony functions, and 90 illustrations
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book is written to serve as a textbook on viscoelasticity for senior undergraduate and graduate students. … There are several interesting features of the book that enhance its utility not only as a textbook, but also as a preliminary research treatise on the subject. … The reviewer enjoyed reading the book, and he believes that it will serve the students/researchers interested in the area of viscoelasticity well.” (Vinod K. Arya, zbMATH, Vol. 1294, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
