Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses Although several fine volumes have been published on special topics in glass, Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses is the first book to provide the breadth required of a comprehensive undergraduate textbook. In a clear tutorial style, this volume provides comprehensive coverage of the composition, structure, and properties of inorganic glasses. Designed to serve as the primary text for "glass science" courses at the upper-undergraduate level, this book facilitates learning with a clear discussion of fundamental concepts, chapter-ending problem sets, an emphasis on key ideas, and timely notes on suggested readings. Professor Varshneya has filled a gap in the existing literature by providing a textbook that is uniquely comprehensive while striving always to help the student develop a clear understanding of the fundamentals underlying glass science.

Page 148 - Goodier [1] as follows: Let there be two isotropic and homogeneous bodies of the same shape, one purely viscous, the other purely elastic and incompressible. The two are either loaded in the same way, or, if certain displacements are prescribed as given functions in the elastic body, then the corresponding velocities in the viscous bodies are prescribed as the same functions.
Page 122 - The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume, and is therefore the reciprocal of the specific volume.
