This pioneering book presents the basic theory, experimental methods, experimental results and solution of boundary value problems in a readable, useful way to designers as well as research workers and students. The mathematical background required has been kept to a minimum and supplemented by explanations where it has been necessary to introduce specialized mathematics. Also, appendices have been included to provide sufficient background in Laplace transforms and in step functions.Chapters 1 and 2 contain an introduction and historic review of creep. As an aid to the reader a background on stress, strain, and stress analysis is provided in Chapters 3 and 4, an introduction to linear viscoelasticity is found in Chapter 5 and linear viscoelastic stress analysis in Chapter 6. In the next six chapters the multiple integral representation of nonlinear creep and relaxation, and simplifications to single integral forms and incompressibility, are examined at length. After a consideration of other representations, general relations are derived, then expanded to components of stress or strain for special cases. Both constant stress (or strain) and variable states are described, together with methods of determining material constants. Conversion from creep to relaxation, effects of temperature and stress analysis problems in nonlinear materials are also treated here.
Finally, Chapter 13 discusses experimental methods for creep and stress relaxation under combined stress. This chapter considers especially those experimental problems which must be solved properly when reliable experimental results of high precision are required. Six appendices present the necessary mathematical background, conversion tables, and more rigorous derivations than employed in the text. An extensive updated bibliography completes the book.

Dangerous! Do not buy!
Purchased the rattlesnake dog toy, my lab got the tail open and to our horror, the rattle noise is broken glass! We are just glad we caught it before she was able to swallow it!

Impressive
This rattlesnake looks a lot like real. Just like the description. Great price. My dog is super gentle with his toys, so it probably will last a long time.

Great little snuffle toy
Color: Squirrel
Our dogs love the squirrel! Great little interactive snuffle toy. Better for small dogs imo but our medium dog loves it too.

Great busy toy!
Color: Squirrel
My dog loves this toy!
And I hate squirrels, so I love to see him try to k*ll it. Haha
Some of the "pockets" are a little deep and he did manage to rip 1 pocket off during the first use; but it's still keeping him busy!

Velcro for folding?
The toy came folded in a bag very nice. However once I took it out I realized the folds were attached by Velcro. Once unrolled I have not needed to use the Velcro since. Just one piece of the toy that was unnecessary. Otherwise t the dot is very colorful and my dog has not been able to tear it up yet.
