Description :

Engineering viscoelasticity covers all aspects of the thermo mechanical response of viscoelastic substances that a practitioner in the field of viscoelasticity would need to design experiments interpret test data develop stress strain models perform stress analyses design structural components and carry out research work. Viscoelasticity is the time dependent anelastic behaviour of materials this means that the response to a stimulus is delayed and there is a loss of energy inside the material viscoelastic behaviour normally occurs at different time scales relaxation times in the same material
