Rheology: Principles, Measurements and Applications

One of the difficulties that arises between much literature on rheology and those who try to understand it, is the tensor. Many books on rheology have therefore been written in only one dimension. This volume tackles the tensor in such a way as to make the problems accessible and understandable, by simplifying notation and making the three-dimensional approach to rheology practical. The book includes some exercises, with solutions at the end of the book. This work could be used as both a reference and a textbook on rheology and rheological phenomena, including techniques and applications of rheology. Students, engineers in the polymer industry and mechanical engineers should find this book a useful reference on all aspects of rheology.
