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.
