Rheology: Principles, Measurements, and Applications

Serving as both a reference and a textbook on rheology and rheological phenomena, this text enables students to retrieve worked examples, experienced rheologists to find references to the rheological techniques currently available, and readers who are primarily interested in using rheology to help solve a specific and immediate problem find a chapter of interest in the section on applications of rheology. This text 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. Some exercises are included, with solutions at the end of the book. The text is suitable for students, engineers in the polymer industry and mechanical engineers.
