"The handbook is structured by grouping together plastics of similar polymer types into nine chapters. Each of these chapters is split into two sections: Fatigue Properties and Tribological Properties, and together they provide a compendium of several hundred graphs and charts, supplying the core data needed by engineers and scientists on a day-to-day basis." "In preparing this second edition, Larry McKeen has undertaken a complete update of the data, and also added an extensive introductory section covering: fatigue, what it is and how it is measured; the fundamentals of tribology; polymer chemistry and plastics composition. These chapters also provide readers with a full understanding of the data section, and how to put it to use as a hard-working information tool." "The resulting work is a definitive handbook and data source for engineers and scientists involved both in the plastics industry and in product design with plastics."--BOOK JACKET
