Learning Outcomes
After finishing the course, the student understands the principles of rheology and rheological measurement methods. The student is able to use rheology to solve practical problems. The student understands the concept of viscoelasticity and can select appropriate measuring techniques and models to study and model viscoelastic response of materials.
