Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:

Mechanical Characterization of Sheet Moulding Composites for the Automotive Industry
G. Lamanna,Angelo Ceparano +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of sheet moulding composite (SMC) have been analyzed by means of static and fatigue tests in tension and the reliability of such procedure and its applicability limits are discussed in the light of the model parameters obtained for different glass fiber reinforced composites.
