Lecture

Viscoelasticity: Mechanical Models and Polymer Behavior

Description

This lecture covers the study of viscoelastic materials, focusing on the molecular weight dependence of viscosity, stress relaxation, creep behavior, and the application of mechanical models like Maxwell, Kelvin/Voigt, and the 4-element model. It also discusses the time-temperature equivalence, superposition, and the importance of generating master curves to analyze material properties conveniently.
