Scope1.1 These test methods cover the use of
3、 the Yerzley me-chanical oscillograph for measuring mechanical properties ofrubber vulcanizates in the generally small range of deformationthat characterizes many technical applications. These proper-ties include resilience, dynamic modulus, static modulus,kinetic energy, creep, and set under a give
4、n force. Measure-ments in compression and shear are described.2,31.2 The test is applicable primarily, but not exclusively, tomaterials having static moduli at the test temperature such thatforces below 2 MPa (280 psi) in compression or 1 MPa(140 psi) in shear will produce 20 % deformation, and havi

It can provide a reference for comparison withthe effective dynamic modulus at that point.4. Summary of Test Methods4.1 Specimens
17、 are loaded by an unbalanced lever and theresultant deflections are recorded on a chronograph. Thispermits calculations to be made of static modulus at any stageof a stepwise loading or unloading schedule. Creep andrecovery rates, including set under prescribed conditions, canbe obtained. Since the
18、lever is supported on a knife edge, thesystem can be impact-loaded to produce a damped freeoscillation trace. This trace yields a dynamic modulus, aresilience index, an oscillation frequency, and a measurementof stored energy.5. Significance and Use5.1 The rubber properties that are measurable by th
19、ese testmethods are important for the isolation and absorption of shockand vibration.These properties may be used for quality control,development and research.5.2 Measurements in compression are influenced by speci-men shape. This shape factor may be described as the ratio ofthe loaded surface area
20、to the unloaded surface area. Inapplying data from a compression specimen, shape factor mustbe incorporated into the mathematical transferal to the appli-cation.6. Apparatus6.1 The essential features of the apparatus7,8(illustrated inFig. 1 and Fig. 2) are as follows:6.1.1 The beam shall be supporte
21、d at its center by aknife-edge, A, and shall be so designed that a test specimenplaced beneath the micrometer can be loaded by placingstandard masses alternatively on front and back portions of thecross-rod, F, at the pen end of the beam. A second knife-edge,B, and a stabilizing arm, B8, (as shown i
22、n Fig. 2), shall be usedto apply load to the test specimen and to maintain parallelismof the loading platens. Optional knife-edges, C and D, may beused to extend the range of the oscillograph.6.1.2 Apen shall extend lengthwise from the beam to recorddeflections on the oscillogram automatically. From
23、 Fig. 2,itisapparent that the deflection of the specimen under test will bemagnified by the travel of the pen in proportion to the leverratio which will be 10:1 when the sample is on the inner testposition, B. Therefore, a deformation of 2.5 mm, for example,will be registered on the oscillogram as a
24、 vertical displacementof 25 mm.6.1.3 The masses, MF,MG, and MH, derive from the mass ofaccurately machined disks, 99.06 mm in diameter with a8The sole source of supply of the Yerzley oscillograph known to the committeeat this time is Tavdi Co., Inc., P.O.

26、ard masses shall be anintegral or fractional multiple either of 641.252 g (1.41372 lb)for convenience of testing in inch-pound units or of 489.464 gfor greater convenience of testing in SI units. The lever ratiofor the masses is 6.25:1 for the outer mass position in referenceto the inner specimen po

Using the 6.25:1 ratio, eachunbalanced mass on the pen end of the beam therefore willproduce the following forces on the specimen on the innerposition at W5r:Mass ValueForce ResultingFrom 6.25:1 RatioSI units 489.46 g 30.000 NInch-pound units 1.4137 lb 8.8357 lbf6.1.4 It follows that positio

Test Specimens7.1 Solid Rubber Specimens:7.1.1 At least two specimens shall be tested, except that atleast three shall be required if measurement of creep is
29、to beincluded. The test specimens for measurements in compressionshall be right circular cylinders chosen from the followingalternatives:Shape PrimaryFactor Practice Diameter0.390 SI units 19.5 6 0.13 mm0.375 Inch-pound units 0.75 6 0.005 in.Reference AreaShape of NominalFactor Height Circle0.390 12

Test speci-mens shall be free from porosity, nicks, and cuts. (Moldedspecimens are preferred for dimensional accuracy and consis-tency.)7.2 Cell
31、ular Test Specimens:7.2.1 Specimens of cellular rubber shall be prepared asfollows: The specimen shall be a circular cylinder cut with acircular metal die 43.70 6 0.01 mm (1.720 6 0.001 in.) ininside diameter for cutting the specimen in a drill press orsimilar device for rotating the die. The pressu
32、re applied to thedie shall be sufficiently small to keep “cupping” of the cutsurfaces to a minimum. In some cases, it may be necessary tofreeze the cellular rubber before cutting the specimen in orderto obtain parallel cut surfaces. To facilitate cutting of thespecimen with smooth-cut surfaces and s
33、quare edges, the diemay be lubricated with water containing a wetting agent and acorrosion inhibitor such as 0.5 % sodium chromate or withsilicone mold release emulsion before each specimen is cut. Ifa lubricant is used, the specimen shall be permitted to drybefore testing. The circular bases of the
34、 specimens shall beparallel to each other and at right angles to the axis of thecylinder. The area of the circular bases is 15.00 cm2(2.323 in.2).FIG. 2 Diagrammatic Sketch of Advanced Yerzley OscillographD9450637.2.2 The specimen shall be not less than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.)and not more than 29 mm (1.12
35、5 in.) in thickness. If thematerial is too thick, it shall be sliced to the required thickness.7.2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification,materials thinner than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) shall be plied up toobtain the required thickness, in which case the report is toinclude the number of
36、plies.8. Conditioning8.1 Expose the test specimens and the apparatus to thetemperature of the test for sufficient time to ensure temperatureequilibrium. For testing at low temperatures (below roomtemperature), the section of the oscillograph to be enclosedshall be one of those shown by broken lines
37、in Fig. 3. Theenclosure shall be equipped with a shelf for storing testspecimens and supplied with a circulating atmosphere at thetemperature of test. Unless otherwise specified, the coldchamber and testing conditions shall conform to the conditionsspecified in Practice D 832.After the test specimen
38、s have beenconditioned at the test temperature, proceed in accordance withSection 9. Similar conditioning requirements apply also to testsat elevated temperatures.9. Procedure9.1 Procedure for Solid Rubber SpecimensThree catago-ries of test operation are described separately under subsequentsection
39、headings to provide data for purposes as follows:9.1.1 In 9.4-9.6 for initial creep and set under a given load.9.1.2 In 9.7-9.9 for Yerzley resilience and hysteresis, pointmodulus, frequency in hertz, effective dynamic modulus, andmaximum impact energy absorbed at a given test load value.9.1.3 In 9.

41、r upon allFIG. 3 Section of Oscillograph to be Enclosed for Tests at Other than Room TemperatureD945064three. It is important, however, to record adequately all datarequired to identify the test conditions fully.9.2 Lock the beam of the oscillograph in position by meansof the release hook at the lef
42、t end of the machine and removeall masses. Place the test specimen centrally on the lowerplaten between the grit sides of two pieces of 400 grit Asandpaper (Note 1). Adjust the micrometer until the upperplaten rests snugly against the sandpaper without deformingthe test specimens; then lock the micr
43、ometer by means of theset screw or lock nut. This setting can be verified as follows:NOTE 1Silicon carbide particles have an average size of 22 6 2 m.9.2.1 Upon disengaging the release hook the pen end shouldretain its position. If the pen drops noticeably, a change of0.02 mm (0.001 in.) may be visi
44、bly observed, the micrometermust be readjusted downward.9.2.2 When this adjustment is completed and verified,reengage the hook. Now apply a small downward force byhand on the pen end of the beam. If the added force depressesthe pen, the micrometer platen is too low. Readjust themicrometer until the
45、micrometer setting is correct. Openingand closing the release hook should then have no effect on thepen position.9.3 Place the graph paper on the chronograph drum andadjust its position so that the zero position of the pen point ison one of the horizontal lines of the paper. An engineeringgrade of g
46、raph paper ruled in 1 in. squares and subdivided intoten equal squares per inch shall be used for measurements ininch-pound units. A quality grade of graph paper ruled in 1 cmsquares subdivided in millimeter squares is preferable formeasurements in SI units, although it should be noted that for4 rpm
47、 and 1 rpm speeds of the chronograph 25.4 mm on thehorizontal scale equals 1 and 4 s, respectively.9.4 Measurement of Initial Creep and SetWith the beamelevated and with the hook engaged prepare to add masses tothe pen end of the beam prior to recording both the initialimpact on the sample and the s
48、ubsequent creep. Normally thetest will be directed toward a final total deformation of 20 %plus the value of the creep. If creep of 2 % should develop, thetotal deformation thus would be 20+2%,or22%.Atoleranceof 62 % has been found convenient. Trial and error with onesample may be used to establish
49、the necessary number ofmasses. When the load value is established, proceed.9.5 With the hook engaged, a fresh test specimen, sandpaperin position, the correct micrometer setting, and the establishednumber of masses installed, switch on the power to the drum,to rotate at 4 rpm in order to draw the horizontal reference lineat the top of the chart. This will also take up slack in the geartrain driving the drum. As the drum approaches the beginningof the second revolution, change the drum speed to 1 rpm.About three small squares into the second revolution releasethe hook, allowi
