Linear viscoelastic behavior in shear

It seems desirable at this point to familiarize the reader with some concrete examples of the viscoelastic phenomena defined in the preceding chapter, and to provide an idea of their character as exhibited by various types of polymeric systems. Linear viscoelastic behavior in shear will be illustrated in considerable detail, with a few additional examples of bulk viscoelastic behavior and nonlinear phenomena. The examples are accompanied by some qualitative remarks about molecular interpretation, anticipating Chapters 9 and 10 where molecular theories will be discussed more quantitatively. [Pg.33]

A. LINEAR VISCOELASTIC BEHAVIOR IN SHEAR OR SIMPLE EXTENSION... [Pg.33]

The characteristic linear viscoelastic behavior (in shear except for Examples VI and VIII, which are in extension) of these eight representative systems will now be reviewed. [Pg.37]

The preceding sections have dealt almost solely with linear viscoelastic behavior in shear or in simple extension which for soft materials is essentially determined by shear deformation characteristics. However, the use of reduced variables in describing temperature and pressure dependence of viscoelastic properties has considerably wider applicability. [Pg.314]
