VISCOELASTIC RHEOLOGY BY ULTRASONIC INTERFEROMETRY,

Abstract

A knowledge of the physical properties of viscoelastic fluids has immediate value in the design of recoil mechanisms, suspension systems, and high speed hydraulic systems. With this last objective in mind, a research project on viscoelastic fluids was initiated by the author in 1967 at the Physical Science Laboratory, USATACOM, to determine the effects of fluid additives on transmission efficiencies. The first phase of that effort, namely the measurement of compressional wave velocities and attenuation factors, is present in this report. (Author)
