ME 531 Theory of Viscoelasticity
Provides a foundation on chemo-hygro-thermo-mechanical behaviors of materials. Thermo-mechanical behaviors of polymeric materials and composites, creep and relaxation functions, nonlinear thermo-mechanical behaviors, properties of nonlinear thermo-viscoelastic stress-strain laws, creep rupture, and torsion of nonlinear bars and shells fundamental concepts of thermo-viscoelasticity with applications are covered in this course.
