Edité par Kluwer Academic Publishers Group, Dordrecht, 1985

Paperback. In this volume the author gives an account of the essential properties of liquids and solids, with particular emphasis on their response to applied forces. Their behaviour is examined both on the large scale, i.e. in terms of quantities that are measured in the laboratory and from the atomic standpoint, and an attempt is made to show how the bulk properties, such as elastic and plastic deformation, viscosity and surface effects, may be related to what the constituent particles are doing, that is to the properties of a large assembly of strongly interacting particles. There is a final chapter on high polymers and liquid crystals. The material covered is at a level appropriate to a first degree course in physics but the book should also be of relevance to engineering and materials science students. The book is amply illustrated and includes worked examples and exercises (with answers) for the student. This book should be of interest to second year undergraduate students taking courses in physics, engineering and mathematics. 8 Viscometers 160 Chapter 7 Surface effects 163 7. 2 Excess surface free energy and surface tension of liquids 163 7. 7 liquid surfaces and the Laplace-Young equation 174 7. 8 liquid spreading 178 7. 13 The measurement of surface free energies 191 Chapter 8 High polymers and liquid crystals 197 8.
