| Popis: | The Rheovibron is widely used for measuring the dynamic mechanical properties of polymers. Poor reproducibility and data variation which have been considered inherent to the Rheovibron operation necessitate both instrument modifications and modelling of the instrument operation for quantitative interpretation of the experimental data. The instrument modifications that have been made in this study include electronic modifications, a new clamp design that eliminates sample mounting and slippage problems, and the design of an environmental chamber, which, along with a nitrogen purge, eliminates moisture condensation on the sample at low temperatures. A previously-developed mathematical model for the instrument has also been extended to account for the effect of the static stress and the stress rate imposed on the sample during measurement. Based on a simple constitutive relation for non-linear stress-strain behaviour of polymers, this model has been applied to a number of polymeric materials including polyethylene, polyimide, poly (ethylene terephthalate), and polypropylene, among others. The instrument modifications and modelling of the influence of static stress and the stress rate imposed on the sample during dynamic mechanical testing allows for reproducible (within 5%) and accurate use of the Rheovibron. |
