Abstract
In the course of investigations into the mechanical properties of natural and synthetic rubbers intended for use in antivibration devices, variations of a large order were encountered. As these variations seemed to be largely dependent on temperature, a preliminary detailed examination in the region of 5° to 40° C was made. With the aid of a mechanical vibrator somewhat similar to that employed by Gehman, and working at 20–60 c.p.s., measurements of dynamic elastic compression modulus and associated resilience were made by the well known resonance method. A detailed description of the apparatus, method, and results is to be published later; for the present time, it may be said that the test-pieces were in the form of cylindrical rubber blocks, 0.875 inch in diameter and 0.875 inch high, bonded at each end to steel screws by the conventional brass-plate method.Keywords
