COMPLEX POISSON'S RATIO AND DILATATION CONSTANTS FROM FORCED VIBRATION OF A SPHERE,
Abstract
Following previous investigations on methods of determining dynamic mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials employing forced vibration, this report proposes a similar technique for determining the complex Poisson's ratio and the complex dilatation constants. Through the study of forced vibration of a free viscoelastic sphere with an internal harmonic oscillating source, it is found that these properties of the test material are related to the ratio of the vibration amplitude of two measurable points. Thus, when using the criterion of this ratio approaching its maximum, the maximum amplitude ratio, these properties can be expressed in simple relationship with laboratory-measurable quantities, namely the maximum amplitude ratios and their corresponding vibration frequencies. Investigations have been carried out for three sphere sets. (Author)
