In this module, Viscoelasticity, you will learn about the historical context of soft matter as a subject. You will also learn about the Response of classical solids, viscous fluids, and viscoelastic material to step stress.

In this module, Creep and Stress Relaxation, you will learn how the Creep and Stress Relaxation Phenomenon can be used to define material properties. You will also learn about the idea of Linearity which covers Linear Scaling and the Superposition of Responses.

In this module, Atoms and Bonds, you will learn about the history and length scales of Atoms and Bonds. You will also learn about relaxation time-scales for polymer melts or solutions and the arrangement of the polymerization units.

In this module, Constitutive Equations, you will learn about the Freely Jointed Chain Model and the molecular structure of surfactants and liquid crystals. You will also learn about Vectors and Tensors in the Constitutive Equations.

You must score 80% or more to pass this assessment.

In this module, Viscoelastic Models, you will learn about Lagrangian and Eulerian Perspectives which are two common ways of studying a moving fluid or a deforming body. You will also learn about Polymer Concentrations and the Maxwell Model.

In this module, Three-Parameter Viscoelastic Models, you will learn how to use the Laplace Transform to solve differential equations. You will also learn about Jefferey’s Model and the Two Maxwell Models.

In this module, Constitutive Modelling, you will learn about the N-Maxwell Model Special Cases. You will also learn about the two approaches of Constitutive Modelling which are the continuum approach and the microstructure approach.

In this module, Sinusoidal Oscillations, you will learn that the basic idea behind objectivity is that the fundamental laws of nature are independent of the frame of reference. You will also learn about the material response to Sinusoidal Oscillations.
