About This Book
The Theory of Viscoelasticity, Second Edition, delves into the core concepts of viscoelastic materials, which exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics under deformation. Authored by R. M. Christensen, this book serves as a key resource in the fields of civil and mechanical engineering.
Published as part of the Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering series, it offers an updated perspective on the mathematical modeling of viscoelastic responses. The text emphasizes the theoretical foundations necessary for engineers working with materials that respond over time to stress.
Ideal for advanced students and professionals, the book covers essential derivations and applications without relying on experimental data specifics. It remains a standard reference for grasping the complexities of non-elastic material behaviors in practical engineering contexts.
