Computational modeling of polymer composites : a study of creep and environmental effects

"This book provides a better understanding of the theories association with finite element models of elastic and viscoelastic response of polymers and polymer composites. Based on the authors original work in the subject area during the last three decades, it covers computational modeling of po...
