Description
This advanced, self-contained treatment illustrates the general principles of statistical mechanics, focusing on their application to the elastic behavior of solids. Part 1 is based solely on classical mechanics, with a summary of thermoelasticity from the continuum viewpoint, followed by a study of the thermoelastic behavior of both crystalline and polymeric solids. Part 2 is based on quantum mechanics, discussing their role in interatomic force laws and their effects on the low-temperature mechanical behavior of solids and on the rates of thermally activated processes. A practical alternative to the usual course in statistical mechanics, this volume will prove valuable to students of physics and chemistry as well as to polymer physicists. 1983 edition. 96 figures.
