Publisher Description

A physical, mechanism-based presentation of the plasticity and fracture of polymers, covering industrial scale applications through to nanoscale biofluidic devices.

The book is designed for advanced graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers across several disciplines (e.g., mathematics, physics and engineering), as it provides them with tools and techniques that are essential in performing research on the flow problems of visco-plastic fluids. The following topics are treated: analysis of classical visco-plastic fluid models mathematical modeling of flows of visco-plastic fluids computing flows of visco-plastic fluids rheology of visco-plastic fluids and visco-plastic suspensions application of visco-plastic fluids in engineering sciences complex flows of visco-plastic fluids.

Intended for use by advanced engineering students and professionals, this volume focuses on plastic deformation of metals at normal temperatures, as applied to strength of machines and structures. 1971 edition.
