Böcker i Rheology Series-serien

Introduces the subject of rheology and describes the application of rheological principles to many industrial products and processes. This book shows how mathematics, physics and chemistry have contributed to the development of rheology and summarises the generic features such as viscosity and linear viscoelasticity of all liquid-like materials.

Contains a study of the history of rheology, beginning with the statements of Heraclitus, Confucius and the prophetess Deborah. This book also emphasises the distinctive contributions of Newton, Hooke, Boltzmann, Maxwell, Kelvin and others. It is useful for science and scientific history libraries, as well as for rheologists and scientists.

Describes suspension mechanics, stability and computational rheology. This book deals with the kinematics of continuous media and the balance laws of mechanics, including the existence of the stress tensor and extensions of the laws of vector analysis to domains bounded by fractal curves or surfaces.
