Lecture

Mechanical Properties: Elastic Deformation

Description

This lecture covers the mechanical properties of polymers, focusing on elastic deformation and viscoelasticity. It discusses the classification of polymers based on stress-strain behavior, different elastic moduli, and the small deformation behavior in glassy or semi-crystalline states. The instructor explains rubber elasticity, energy-driven elasticity, and observations on elastomers contradicting the elasticity of other materials.
