Torsional Testing of Fine Filaments. Part I. Apparatus and Procedures.

Abstract

A device is described for the torsional testing of small-diameter single fibers. Both shear modulus and damping (internal friction) characteristics of fibers can be determined. The apparatus is suitable for fibers ranging in diameter from a few microns to over one mil. The test procedure is outlined and sample calculations of torsional properties are provided. (Author-PL)
