Summary of Method4.1 The configuration of the cantilever beam test specimenis selected based on the type of damping material to be testedand the damping properties that are desired. Fig. 2 shows fourdifferent test specimens used to investi
19、gate extensional andshear damping properties of materials over a broad range ofmodulus values.4.1.1 Self-supporting damping materials are evaluated byforming a single, uniform test beam (Fig. 2a) from the dampingmaterial itself.4.1.2 Nonself-supporting damping materials are evaluatedfor their extens
20、ional damping properties in a two-step process.First, a self-supporting, uniform metal beam, called the basebeam or bare beam, must be tested to determine its resonantfrequencies over the temperature range of interest. Second, thedamping material is applied to the base beam to form a dampedcomposite
21、 beam using one of two test specimen configurations(Fig. 2borFig. 2c). The damped composite beam is tested toobtain its resonant frequencies, and corresponding compositeloss factors over the temperature range of interest. The damp-ing properties of the material are calculated using the stiffnessof t
22、he base beam, calculated from the results of the base beamtests (see 10.2.1), and the results of the composite beam tests(see 10.2.2 and 10.2.3).4.1.3 The process to obtain the shear damping properties ofnon-self-supporting damping materials is similar to the twostep process described above but requ
23、ires two identical basebeams to be tested and the composite beam to be formed usingthe sandwich specimen configuration (Fig. 2d).4.2 Once the test beam configuration has been selected andthe test specimen has been prepared, the test specimen isclamped in a fixture and placed in an environmental cham
24、ber.Two transducers are used in the measurement, one to apply anexcitation force to cause the test beam to vibrate, and one tomeasure the response of the test beam to the applied force. Bymeasuring several resonances of the vibrating beam, the effectof frequency on the materials damping properties c
25、an beestablished. By operating the test fixture inside an environmen-tal chamber, the effects of temperature on the material proper-ties are investigated.4.3 To fully evaluate some non-self-supporting dampingmaterials from the glassy region through the transition regionto the rubbery region may requ
26、ire two tests, one using one ofthe specimen configurations (Fig. 2borFig. 2c) and the secondusing the sandwich specimen configuration (Fig. 2d) (SeeAppendix X2.6).5. Significance and Use5.1 The material loss factor and modulus of dampingmaterials are useful in designing measures to control vibration
27、in structures and the sound that is radiated by those structures,especially at resonance. This test method determines theproperties of a damping material by indirect measurementusing damped cantilever beam theory. By applying beamtheory, the resultant damping material properties are madeindependent
28、of the geometry of the test specimen used toobtain them. These damping material properties can then beused with mathematical models to design damping systems andpredict their performance prior to hardware fabrication. Thesemodels include simple beam and plate analogies as well asfinite element analy
29、sis models.5.2 This test method has been found to produce good resultswhen used for testing materials consisting of one homogeneouslayer. In some damping applications, a damping design mayconsist of two or more layers with significantly differentcharacteristics. These complicated designs must have t
30、heirconstituent layers tested separately if the predictions of themathematical models are to have the highest possible accuracy.FIG. 1 Variation of Modulus and Material Loss Factor withTemperature(Frequency held constant)(Glassy, Transition, and Rubbery Regions shown)FIG. 2 Test SpecimensE756 05 (20
31、17)25.3 Assumptions:5.3.1 All damping measurements are made in the linearrange, that is, the damping materials behave in accordance withlinear viscoelastic theory. If the applied force excites the beambeyond the linear region, the data analysis will not be appli-cable. For linear beam behavior, the
32、peak displacement fromrest for a composite beam should be less than the thickness ofthe base beam (See Appendix X2.3).5.3.2 The amplitude of the force signal applied to theexcitation transducer is maintained constant with frequency. Ifthe force amplitude cannot be kept constant, then the responseof
33、the beam must be divided by the force amplitude. The ratioof response to force (referred to as the compliance or recep-tance) presented as a function of frequency must then be usedfor evaluating the damping.5.3.3 Data reduction for both test specimens 2b and 2c (Fig.2) uses the classical analysis fo
34、r beams but does not include theeffects of the terms involving rotary inertia or shear deforma-tion. The analysis does assume that plane sections remainplane; therefore, care must be taken not to use specimens witha damping material thickness that is much greater (about fourtimes) than that of the m
35、etal beam.5.3.4 The equations presented for computing the propertiesof damping materials in shear (sandwich specimen 2d - see Fig.2) do not include the extensional terms for the damping layer.This is an acceptable assumption when the modulus of thedamping layer is considerably (about ten times) lowe
36、r than thatof the metal.5.3.5 The equations for computing the damping propertiesfrom sandwich beam tests (specimen 2dsee Fig. 2) weredeveloped and solved using sinusoidal expansion for the modeshapes of vibration. For sandwich composite beams, thisapproximation is acceptable only at the higher modes
37、, and ithas been the practice to ignore the first mode results. For theother specimen configurations (specimens 2a, 2b, and 2c) thefirst mode results may be used.5.3.6 Assume the loss factor () of the metal beam to bezero.NOTE 1This is a well-founded assumption since steel and aluminummaterials have
38、 loss factors of approximately 0.001 or less, which issignificantly lower than those of the composite beams.5.4 Precautions:5.4.1 With the exception of the uniform test specimen, thebeam test technique is based on the measured differencesbetween the damped (composite) and undamped (base) beams.When
39、small differences of large numbers are involved, theequations for calculating the material properties are ill-conditioned and have a high error magnification factor, i.e.small measurement errors result in large errors in the calculatedproperties. To prevent such conditions from occurring, it isrecom
40、mended that:5.4.1.1 For a specimen mounted on one side of a base beam(see 10.2.2 and Fig. 2b), the term (fc/fn)2(1 + DT) should beequal to or greater than 1.01.5.4.1.2 For a specimen mounted on two sides of a basebeam (see 10.2.3 and Fig. 2c), the term (fm/fn)2(1+2DT)should be equal to or greater th
41、an 1.01.5.4.1.3 For a sandwich specimen (see 10.2.4 and Fig. 2d),the term (fs/fn)2(2 + DT) should be equal to or greater than 2.01.5.4.1.4 The above limits are approximate. They depend onthe thickness of the damping material relative to the base beamand on the modulus of the base beam. However, when
42、 thevalue of the terms in Sections 5.4.1.1, 5.4.1.2,or5.4.1.3 arenear these limits the results should be evaluated carefully. Theratios in Sections 5.4.1.1, 5.4.1.2, and 5.4.1.3 should be used tojudge the likelihood of error.5.4.2 Test specimens Fig. 2b and Fig. 2c are usually used forstiff material
43、s with Youngs modulus greater than 100 MPa,where the properties are measured in the glassy and transitionregions of such materials. These materials usually are of thefree-layer type of treatment, such as enamels and loaded vinyls.The sandwich beam technique usually is used for soft vis-coelastic mat
44、erials with shear moduli less than 100 MPa. Thevalue of 100 MPa is given as a guide for base beam thicknesseswithin the range listed in 8.4. The value will be higher forthicker beams and lower for thinner beams. When the 100 MPaguideline has been exceeded for a specific test specimen, thetest data m
45、ay appear to be good, the reduced data may havelittle scatter and may appear to be self-consistent. Although thecomposite beam test data are accurate in this modulus range,the calculated material properties are generally wrong. Accu-rate material property results can only be obtained by using thetes
46、t specimen configuration that is appropriate for the range ofthe modulus results.5.4.3 Applying an effective damping material on a metalbeam usually results in a well-damped response and a signal-to-noise ratio that is not very high. Therefore, it is important toselect an appropriate thickness of da
47、mping material to obtainmeasurable amounts of damping. Start with a 1:1 thicknessratio of the damping material to the metal beam for testspecimens Fig. 2b and Fig. 2c and a 1:10 thickness ratio of thedamping material to one of the sandwich beams (Fig. 2d).Conversely, extremely low damping in the sys
48、tem should beavoided because the differences between the damped andundamped system will be small. If the thickness of thedamping material cannot easily be changed to obtain thethickness ratios mentioned above, consider changing the thick-ness of the base beam (see 8.4).5.4.4 Read and follow all mate
49、rial application directions.When applicable, allow sufficient time for curing of both thedamping material and any adhesive used to bond the materialto the base beam.5.4.5 Learn about the characteristics of any adhesive used tobond the damping material to the base beam. The adhesivesstiffness and its application thickness can affect the damping ofthe composite beam and be a source of error (see 8.3).5.4.6 Consider known aging limits on both the damping andadhesive materials before preserving samples for aging tests.6.
