This text introduces the subject of rheology in terms understandable to non-experts and describes the application of rheological principles to many industrial products and processes.
Viscoelasticity has been used to model the deformation and stress displayed by many types of solids including biological materials, polymers and metals. Viscoelastic materials exhibit a memory effect, where the stress at the current time depends on the previous history of the st…
The properties of composite materials are strongly dependent on the test strain rate and temperature due to their viscoelastic nature. Their viscoelasticity is often nonlinear. Such complex behavior makes it very challenging and time consuming to characterize the composite mater…
Additive manufacturing methods have been developed from rapid prototyping techniques and are now being considered as alternatives to conventional techniques of manufacturing. Stereolithography is one of the main additive methods and is considered highly accurate and consistent. …
The theory of viscoelasticity has been built up as a mechanical framework for modeling important aspects of the delayed behavior of a wide range of materials. This book, primarily intended for civil and mechanical engineering students, is devoted specifically to linear viscoelas…
This edition extends the theory for viscoelastic wave propagation to include head waves and general ray theory. The additions, not published elsewhere, significantly increase interest in the book for advanced university courses, research, and applications in seismology, explorat…
"The first edition of this book was a rigorous, self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory for wave propagation in layered media with arbitrary amounts of intrinsic absorption. The second edition extends this exposition to include the theory of general rays and head wa…

Polymeric nanofibers are versatile building blocks for a range of hierarchical structures, such as filtration systems, tissue scaffolds and nanocomposites. Among the methods that are available for the fabrication of polymeric nanofibers, electrospinning stands out because of the…
