viscoelasticity [¦vis·kȯ‚i‚las′tis·əd·ē]

New model libraries in this version cover electromagnetic fields, acoustics, chemical engineering, heat transfer, viscoelasticity, and multijet reactor polymerization.
The first part of the course will cover important rheology parameters (viscosity, shear-thinning, thixotropy, viscoelasticity, etc.
Because of the viscoelasticity of the polymeric materials, the stress-strain behavior depends on the strain rate.
