Plastics have become increasingly important in the products used in
our society, ranging from housing to packaging, transportation,
business machines and especially in medicine and health products.
Designing plastic parts for this wide range of uses has become a
major activity for designers, architects, engineers, and others who
are concerned with product development. Because plastics are unique
materials with a broad range of proper ties they are adaptable to a
variety of uses. The uniqueness of plastics stems from their
physical characteristics which are as different from metals,
glasses, and ceramics as these materials are different from each
other. One major concern is the design of structures to take loads.
Metals as well as the other materials are assumed to respond
elastically and to recover completely their original shape after
the load is removed. Based on this simple fact, extensive litera
ture on applied mechanics of materials has been developed to enable
designers to predict accurately the performance of structures under
load. Many engineers depend on such texts as Timoshenko's Strength
of Materials as a guide to the performance of structures. Using
this as a guide, generations of engineers have designed economical
and safe structural parts. Unfortunately, these design principles
must be modified when designing with plastics since they do not
respond elastically to stress and undergo permanent deformation
with sus tained loading."
