Viscoelastic" Machine Elements Elastomers and Lubricants in Machine Systems by ProfessorDesmondF. Moore;publishedby ButterworthHeinemann Ltd.,Oxford; ISBN0 7506 1305 X. In the last several decades impressive progress has been made in the study of tribology of elastomers and rubberlike materials and in advanced design for incorporating viscoelastic materials as machine elements in machinery systems. This book includes very interesting problems such as: -- viscoelasticity, generalised Hook's Law; mechanical models, creep and relaxation behaviour; bulk modulus concept, complex visocity. elastometric machine elements, vibration absorption models, rolling-contact machine elements. machine elements; non-planar squeezefilms; hydrodynamic pressure wedges, miscellaneous effects; porous squeeze-films. elasto-fluidic combination elements; spring and damping parameters; micro-porous polymer lubricants, synovial fluid lubrication. elastohydrodynamic interaction; normal approach, tangential motion; viscoelasto-hydrodynamics and typical applications. The subject matter of this book is viscoelastic machine elements and their design and application into machine systems. There are a large number of examples which should be of value to the design engineers. - -

Kinetic Theory and Irreversible Thermodynamics by ByungChang Eu; publishedby John Wiley& Sons,New York, pp. 720 + Index;ISBN0-471-61524-2. The author of this excellent book is a Professor of Chemistry at McGill University, Montreal, who has succeeded to put in a coherent form most important results obtained over decades and dispersed in various monographs and scientific journals. The theoretical research in this large and actively developing field is presented on a highly advanced level. The book consists of 15 Chapters covering: Balance Equations and the First Law of Thermodynamics; the Second Law of Thermodynamics; Local Theory of Irreversible Processes; Irreversible Thermodynamics of Linear Processes; Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics; Irreversible Thermodynamics of Heterogeneous Systems; Irreversible Processes in Electromagnetic Field; Scattering Theory of Particles; Kinetic Theory of Dilute Monoatomic Gases; Kinetic Theory of Quantum Gases and Gases with Internal States; Kinetic Theory of Dense Simple Fluids; Transport Processes in Dense Simple Fluids; Kinetic Theory of Dense Polyatomic Fluids; Relativistic Kinetic Theory of Gases and Irreversible Thermodynamics. References are given after each chapter including both classical and up-to-date works. 1 recommend this very useful book to theoretical physicists and chemists engaged in research of kinetic processes as well as to mathematicians working in the field of kinetic theory and irreversible thermodynamics.
