Abstract
The preliminary work on the measurement of velocity of propagation and attenuation of longitudinal sound oscillations in high polymer filaments already described by Hillier and Kolsky has been continued. It was concluded in that paper that temperature control would be advantageous, and that by varying the temperature and the frequency of oscillations more useful information could be acquired. An apparatus is described whereby the velocity of propagation and the attenuation of longitudinal oscillations throughout the range 0° to 50° c. and 500 c/s. to 30 kc/s. can be measured. The results obtained with one material, polythene, are discussed in terms of several theories of the elasticity of high polymers, and the constants of the several equations considered are calculated from the data.Keywords
