The book generalizes the basic experimental and theoretical results of several classes of polymeric materials: thermoplastic amorphous and semicrystalline polymers, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, as well as composites (i.e., filled polymers), polymer blends, and multicomponent polymeric systems. The traditional mechanical properties obtained under the simplest loads — tension, compression, and torsion-are insufficient for prediction and computation of the usefulness of polymeric materials under the extreme conditions of their use. Therefore, the monograph treats the issue of predicting deformation properties under uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial stresses.
