Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method describes the determination of resil-ience, expre
9、ssed as percentage resilience or rebound resilience,by a Schob Type pendulum rebound device as a ratio betweenthe returned and applied energy when a spherically terminatedmass impacts a test specimen under the conditions specified inthis test method.3.2 Resilience of the materials described is infin
10、itely vari-able. It varies with temperature, strain rate (specifically relatedto the velocity of the indentor), and strain energy (specificallyrelated to the mass of the indentor, coupled with velocity).3.3 The variable factors, described and defined in this testmethod, will have effects on the outc
11、omes of test results.Repetitive tests, under the defined conditions, on comparablematerials, will provide meaningful, repeatable, and reproduc-ible data.4. Significance and Use4.1 The Schob Type rebound pendulum is designed tomeasure the percentage resilience of a rubber compound as anindication of
12、hysteretic energy loss that can also be defined bythe relationship between storage modulus and loss modulus.The percent rebound measured is inversely proportional to thehysteretic loss.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand is the direct responsibility of Subc

15、tage resilience or rebound resilience are com-monly used in quality control testing of polymers and com-pounding chemicals.4.1.2 Rebound resilience is determined by a freely fallingpendulum hammer that is dropped from a given height thatimpacts a test specimen and imparts to it a certain amount ofen
16、ergy. A portion of that energy is returned by the specimen tothe pendulum and may be measured by the extent to which thependulum rebounds, whereby the restoring force is determinedby gravity.4.1.2.1 Since the energy of the pendulum is proportional tothe vertical component of the displacement of the
17、pendulum, itmay be expressed as 1 cos (of the angle of displacement) andpercentage rebound resilience. RB, commonly called percent-age rebound, is determined from the equation:RB 51 2 cos angle of rebound!1 2 cos original angle!3 100 (1)4.1.2.2 The rebound resilience may be calculated as:R 5hH(2)whe
18、re:h = apex height of the rebound, andH = initial height.4.1.2.3 The rebound resilience may also be determined bythe measurement of the angle of rebound a. From the reboundangle a, the rebound resilience in percent is obtained accordingto the following formula:R 5 1 2 cos a! 3 100 (3)5. Apparatus5.1
19、 Rebound resilience shall be measured by means of aSchob Type pendulum rebound device (see Fig. 1), which maybe described as a pendulum-like, one-degree-of-freedom, me-chanical oscillatory rebound device.5.1.1 The device shall consist of a pendulum rod terminat-ing in a hammer and hammer peen (spher
20、ical indentor)supported by a frame (see Fig. 2) so as to oscillate linearly orcircularly under the action of a restoring force, which may bedue to gravity or the elastic reactions of a torsion wire orsprings. It shall also incorporate a specimen holder and adevice by which to determine the outcome o
21、f the resiliencetest, either an analog scale with a pointer, or an equivalentdigital electronic display.5.2 The scale or display shall read either, or both, the angleof rebound and the horizontal rebound distance. The scale ordisplay may be graduated uniformly or be calibrated in units ofresilience.
22、5.3 The test specimen shall be securely held during me-chanical conditioning and rebound measurement.5.3.1 The surface against which the back of the test speci-men is applied shall be metallic, flat, and smoothly finished,vertical and perpendicular to the impact velocity direction.5.3.2 This flat fa
23、ce is a part of an anvil which shall, if free,have a mass of least 200 times the impacting mass.5.3.3 Any type of suitable holding device may be usedprovided that it gives rebound resilience values that deviate notmore than 0.2 (absolute rebound resilience) from those ob-tained with test specimens b
24、onded to a rigid back plate.5.3.3.1 Examples of suitable holding devices include suc-tion (by vacuum), mechanical clamping devices, and combi-nations of the two.5.3.3.2 No lateral restraint shall be applied to the testspecimen in order to allow it to bulge freely when impacted.5.4 If measurements ar
25、e to be carried out at a series oftemperatures different from the ambient temperature, the pen-dulum instrument shall be operated in accordance with Prac-tices D832 and D1349.5.4.1 The apparatus shall be checked for correct operation inthe range of temperatures used.5.4.2 Samples shall be conditione
26、d at temperature andremoved as quickly as possible to the tester (see 8.1.3).6. Test Specimens6.1 Test specimens shall be prepared in accordance withPractices D3182 and D3183 either by molding or by cutting.They shall be free of fabric or any other reinforcing materials.6.2 Test specimen size shall
27、be as described by the instru-ment manufacturer or as agreed upon by supplier and customer.6.3 The test specimens shall have flat, smooth, and parallelsurfaces, finished, if necessary, by buffing. If the impactedsurface is cohesive, the effect shall be minimized by dustingthe surface with talc or an
28、 equivalent material.6.3.1 Specimens may be prepared by plying samples cutfrom a standard test slab (see Practices D3182 and D3183).These samples shall be plied, without cementing, to thethickness required. Such plies shall be smooth, flat, and ofuniform thickness. The results obtained with these sp
29、ecimensso prepared will not necessarily be identical with thoseobtained using a solid specimen of the same material and stateof cure.6.3.1.1 Plying of no more than three test specimens of thesame material may be used to obtain a greater thickness. It isnecessary that the surfaces of the test specime
30、ns be verysmooth, and lateral suction may help in ensuring their contact.6.3.1.2 Plying of test specimens introduces additional un-certainties, and shall be used only for comparative measure-ments.6.4 The test shall be performed no earlier than 16 h and nolater than 28 days beyond the time of vulcan
31、ization.6.5 The time between vulcanization and testing shall notexceed 120 days for finished articles.6.5.1 Alternatively, the time between vulcanization andtesting may be agreed upon between laboratories or customerand supplier.6.6 Samples and test specimens shall be protected from lightas complete
32、ly as possible during the interval between vulcani-zation and testing.6.7 If the test specimen is buffed, the interval betweenbuffing and testing shall not exceed 72 h.7. Tester Verification7.1 Since there are no absolute standards available for thistester, the instruments performance should be veri
33、fied on aregular basis:D7121 05 (2012)27.1.1 Follow manufacturers recommendations for physicalverification of the instrument.7.1.2 Obtain or produce one or two standard samples,preferably one with high (90 %) resilience and one with low(20 to 30 %) resilience. Test these samples normally to verifyin
34、strument performance.8. Test Conditions8.1 The standard laboratory temperature of 23 6 2C (73.46 3.6F) is the preferred temperature of the test.8.1.1 Tests may also be carried out at other temperatures asagreed upon between laboratories or customer and supplier.8.1.2 The temperature tolerance shall
35、not exceed 61C.8.1.3 When tests are conducted at temperatures other thanthat in 8.1, the sample should be conditioned for at least 30 minor until uniformity of temperature is reached, then removedquickly to the tester to reduce the temperature change beforetesting.9. Procedure9.1 After conditioning
