Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Filled Polybutadiene

Abstract

Dynamic mechanical tests measure the response of a material to a sinusoidal or other periodic stress. These tests provide the true picture of product performance. Such information may not otherwise be possible to obtain using a conventional technique of stress-strain measurement.¹ Dynamic tests over a wide temperature and frequency range are especially sensitive to the chemical and the physical structure of a material and can be carried out using various techniques such as free vibration technique, resonance vibration technique, etc.^2,3
