p. 41:  Last line of paragraph below Eq. 2.50. Leave out reference to Problem 2.7 as the original problem was left out.  Problem 2.7 at the end of the chapter does not refer to the comment on p. 41 but does read correctly for a different problem.

p. 72: Last sentence of the first paragraph should read, “…Chapter 11”, not Chapter 10.

p. 89: Last line should read, "...Fig. 3.24a."

p. 126: In Fig. 4.30 the horizontal length exponent should be 5 not 2.

p. 168: First paragraph line 9; the Sancaktar reference is missing from the list of references and the citation should read, "...Sancaktar, et. al 1980)."

p.169: Last line before Eq. 5.17a, Eq. 3.17 should be replaced by Eq. 3.29.

p. 176: In Eq. 5.25e the denominator of the first term to the right of the first equal mark should not contain E1 in the numerator. 

p. 191: The t after omega in the second term of Eq. 5.54 should be deleted. 

p. 192: In the first sentence of the second paragraph Fig. 5.18 (a) should replaced by Fig. 5.19 and in the sixth sentence would best read, ...high frequency E'(w).... 

p. 195: The lower part of Fig. 5.23 is contained in both the 1975 and 1985 books by Arridge.  The 1975 book was published by Oxford and the 1985 book was published by Taylor and Francis.  The reference in Fig. 5.23 should be the 1975 book and not the 1985 book. and should only refer to the lowever part of the Fig. 5.23.

p. 206: The curve in Fig. 6.5(a) should be removed.

p. 207: Remove the extra E in the 3rd line after Eq. 6.22.

p. 214: The line after Eq. 6.54 should read, "...(see homework problem 6.9)." and the second line after Eq. 6.55 should read, "...(see homework problem 6.11)."

p.216: The lower right hand box of Fig. 6.6 should read, "Relaxation Spectrum H(tau).

p. 218:  Restate HW problem 6.6 as follows:  “Using Boltzman’s superposition sintegral, find the strain output for a Kelvin solid for the stress input given in problem 6.5.”

p. 223: The fifth line from the bottom should read, "...glassy (~-60º C) and .... 

p. 229: Tau in Eq. 7.1 should be repalced by pi.

p. 240: Paragraph 2 line 1 should read, "...polyurethane of Fig. 7.11...."

p. 246: Paragraph 2 line 9 should read, "...domain in Fig. 5.20."

p. 264: Paragraph 2 line 4 should read, "...and shown in Fig. 3.17, the .... 

p. 265; Paragraph 1 last sentence should read, ",,,(see Fig. 5.23 and Fig. 7.6)."

p. 269: Paragraph 2 line 8 should read, "...(see Fig. 7.2 and Fig. 7.10) while ...." 

p. 273: H.W. 7.4 should refer to data on p. 175 (not p. 135).  Also, problem needs to be restated in terms of the “text” rather than the “class”.  Restate as follows: “The creep data for an epoxy is given in Chapter 5 on page 175 of this text. Using the TTSP equation derived in class, determine the maximum (asymptotic) value you would expect the deflection, δ, to be for the temperatures, T= 155º C, 160º C and 165º C.”

p. 302: Paragraph 1 line 3 should read, "...Chapter 5 (Eq. 520 or Eq. 5.27) as ...."

p. 327: Paragraph 1 line 7 should read, "...Chapter 11 indicates nonlinear behavior for ...."

p. 335: Paragraph 1 line 1 & 2 should read "...in Fig. 10.7 where the stabilized value of n is obtained from creep recovery in a much shorter time."

p. 352, The caption of Fig. 10.12 should read, "...process to form a master curve for a modified epoxy. (Data from Rochefort, (1983))."

p. 414: H.W. 11.3 should read as follows: “Develop the differential equation for the modified Bingham model of Fig. 11.15 (b) that leads Eq.’s 11.25 and Eq. 11.26.”

p. 414:  Problem 11.4 needs to be restated as follows.  Develop the differential equation for the following modified version of the modified Schwedoff model given in Fig. 11.15 d."

 

p. 414:    H.W. 11.5 is incomplete.  The problem should read as follows: “The Crochet modification of the Nagdi and Murch χij function is,
      (Insert Eq. 11.21 from text here)
Expand χ for a general three-dimensional state of stress and strain and verify the results given for uniaxial tension by Eq. 11.23.”

p. 414:  H.W. 11.7 needs to be restated as follows: “Verify that use of the Schapery nonlinear viscoelastic model results in the χ function of Eq. 11.36 for creep of a nonlinear viscoelastic material in simple tension.”
 

p. 423: The 1985 book by Arridge was published by Taylor and Francis (not Oxford).

p. 433: Add the following reference: Sancaktar, E. and Brinson, H.F., "The Viscoelastic Behavior of a Structural Adhesive", Adhesion and Adsorption of Polymers, Part A (E-H Lee, Ed.), Plenum, 1980, p. 279-299.
