fatigue in polymers

[MarkUMSU]

I'm looking to learn more about fatigue and creep in polymers. Can you suggest some good references?

 

[gfbotha]

My best source by far is a quite old edition of "Modern Plastics Encyclopedia" (not sure where to get it now...)

You could also go to

http://www.geplastics.com,

then see under LITERATURE AND TOOLS > Design Guide, etc. (you might have to register to have access to everything?)

Here is a good book on the subject:

http://www.amazon.com/Fatigue-Engin...ef=sr_1_2/102-1633311-9168932?ie=UTF8&s=books

Here is a decent handbook with fatigue info:

What I use is from rapra (

http://www.rapra.co.uk)

e.g. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis for plastics engineering and fatigue and tribological properties of plastics and elastomers.

Not sure if that is what you are looking for it is good for number crunching.
