Understanding Viscoelasticity: Basics of Rheology by Nhan Phan-Thien (English) P

Description: Understanding Viscoelasticity by Nhan Phan-Thien The idea that everything has a time scale, and that if we are prepared to wait long enough then everything will flow was known to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and prior to him, to the 4 Prophetess Deborah - The Mountains Flowed Before The Lord. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity; in particular, to the the ories of dilute polymer solutions and melts, and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to practical problems of industrial interest, but because they form a solid theoretical base upon which mathematical tech niques can be built, from which more complex theories can be constructed, to better mimic material behaviour. The emphasis is not on the voluminous cur rent topical research, but on the necessary tools to understand viscoelasticity at a first year graduate level. 1 Viscoelasticity, or Continuum Mechanics, or Rheology (certainly not to be confused with Theology) is the science of deformation and flow. This def 2 3 inition of was due to Bingham, who, together with Scott-Blair and Reiner, helped form The Society of Rheology in 1929. Rheology has a distinguished history involving high-profile scientists. The idea that everything has a time scale, and that if we are prepared to wait long enough then everything will flow was known to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and prior to him, to the 4 Prophetess Deborah - The Mountains Flowed Before The Lord. Not surpris ingly, the motto of the Society of Rheology is 1ravra pet (everything flows), a saying attributed to Heraclitus. Notes This textbook on viscoelasticity gives a comprehensive but concise introduction to the basics of rheology. It will appeal to advanced students, researchers and engineers. Back Cover Viscoelasticity (or rheology) is a highly mathematical subject, interfacing several disciplines, from applied mathematics to mechanics and engineering. Other books on rheology are usually comprehensive to such a degree that students find it hard to isolate the important physical principles and develop good analytical skills for solving useful engineering problems. In this book, the necessary background for understanding viscoelasticity is covered; both the continuum and microstructure approaches to modelling viscoelastic materials are discussed, since neither approach alone is sufficient. The book starts with tensor notation, to give students the basic working tools, then addresses kinematics and constitutive equations, and ends with the constitutive modelling of polymer solutions and suspensions. It also includes a series of problems of graded difficulty. It is self-contained and ideally suited for a one-semester course on viscoelasticity. Table of Contents 1. Tensor Notation.- 2.

Review From the reviews: "In Understanding Viscoelasticity: Basics of Rheology, Nhan Phan-Thien, who has produced several substantial contributions in rheology over the past three decades, provides a concise account of the behavior of real materials . . . Suitable as a text for a first-year graduate course in viscoelastic materials, the book provides students with some necessary tools to read and better understand technical articles in the field . . . Among the books many positive attributes are the clear introductory remarks that begin each chapter. Concepts leading to material functions are well introduced and defined. Nice historical tidbits, sprinkled throughout, convey valuable information on scientists of note and the remarkable scientific advances for which they are famous. Homework problems with ample pedagogical and mnemonic value appear at the end of each chapter . . . Understanding Viscoelasticity is a joy to read and will be very useful to motivated students."PHYSICS TODAY"In this small textbook a brief introduction into the rheological branch of viscoelasticity is given. … In contrast to other monographies in rheology, the present one results from lecture notes of a short introductory course … . some interesting historical notes on the pioneers of rheology are given.

(Daniel De Kee, Physics Today, July, 2003) Feature Problems are organized into competency (C), difficult (D) and more difficult (H) problems. The idea is that students should be able to do all the C problems for a pass in this course. The book is concise but self-contained, and will be suitable for a one-semester course in viscoelasticity.
