Addressing practical issues of design, this book covers the fundamentals of the mechanical responses of various polymers and composites, and their use in the design of components. The second edition contains more detailed information on applications. It also adds new chapters that focus on rapid prototyping and manufacture with polymers, as well as piezoelectric polymers for use as active actuators (smart materials) and sensors. The text features updated and additional coverage of elastomer elasticity constitutive relations, advanced viscoelastic materials, biomedical applications of polymers, overmolding, injection molding, thermoforming, and adhesives for assembly.
