Dynamic mechanical and creep-recovery behavior of polymer-based composites : mechanical and mathematical modeling

Dynamic Mechanical and Creep-Recovery Behavior of Polymer-Based Composites: Mechanical and Mathematical Modeling covers mathematical modeling, dynamic mechanical analysis, and the various factors that impact the creep-recovery behavior of polymer composites.

The effects of polymer molecular weight, plasticizers, cross-linking agents, and chemical treatment of filler material are addressed, along with information on thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer-based composites, including their various applications and the advantages and disadvantages of their use in different settings.

Final sections cover mathematical modeling of creep-recovery behavior for polymer composites and software-based simulation of creep-recovery in polymer composites, respectively.
