Damping test

The test results of a material damping test are most useful when placed on a reduced temperature nomograph, which plots the limited number of test results to a graph from which one can obtain the damping properties (modulus and loss factor) at any given combination of temperature and frequency. The WLF equation (51 is used to obtain a nomograph for the results of each test.

Testing Conditions and Analysis. The fracture behavior was investigated at room temperature at nominal piston velocities, from 10-4 m/s to 10 m/s. For test speeds higher than 10-1 m/s, the damped test procedure described in reference 15 was used. Quasi-static stress conditions therefore prevailed in the specimen, even at high loading rates. This fact allowed the analysis of fracture-mechanics parameters to be performed using a static approach. 

A number of specific tests have been devised for the application of polymers for special purposes, such as damping tests for frequency modulations of short or long waves, or scratch resistance on protective coatings, etc. 

Hardness. The hardness of a coating is examined by three types of test the scratch test, the damping test, and the indentation test with a penetrating body. The results of one of these tests do not allow conclusions to be drawn as regards the behavior in another test [9.31]. 

The Damping Test, in which a pendulum with a very hard pointed pivot is set rocking on the sample surface and the time to decrease the amplitude of the swing by 50% is used as a measure of hardness (the pendulum test or Herbert test). 

More recently, Roberts has derived acceleration factors for heat-damp testing of small silicone packaged signal transistors. He concluded that the majority of silicone packaged devices which he had evaluated under damp heat conditions were superior to those packaged in epoxy with the proviso that other unknown factors relating to the chip or connection design may have partially contributed to this superiority. 

Vibration damping tests were carried out using polymer concrete made from an isophthalic UPR to prove that the filled polyester resin was an appropriate material for the manufacturing of machine tool beds with respect to damping [161]. Vibration analyses of polyester samples with different ratios...

In testing materials with high sound damping, the burst transmitter increases the signal-to-noise ratio to, typically, 12 dB. Typical applications honeycomb and concrete components, and air-coupled testing. 

The HILL-SCAN 304INF board is optimized for low test frequencies so that materials with high sound damping such as concrete can be sueeessfully inspeeted by the echo technique. 

New test, after these modification s, showed better measurements up to 350 m/min but now it also became evident that oil from the drawing process build up on the transducer surface and damped the signals and made measurements impossible. The oil build up as a combination of inspection length (m of tubes) and inspection speed. At lower drawing velocities (70 m/min) the oil obvious was washed away giving no inspection problems. The water system was modified as follows ... 

Picric acid is usually stored damp for safety, and acetone is therefore a better solvent than benzene or this test the solutions musi be almost saturated, however. 

There are, however, a variety of other sources of methane that have been considered for fuel supply. Eor example, methane present in coal (qv) deposits and formed during mining operations can form explosive mixtures known as fire damp. In Western Europe, some methane has been recovered by suction from bore holes drilled in coal beds and the U.S. Bureau of Mines has tested the economic practicaUty of such a system. Removal of methane prior to mining the coal would reduce explosion ha2ards associated with coal removal. As much as 11.3 x 10 (400 trillion (10 ) cubic feet or 400 TCE) of... 

Floor poHshes typically are evaluated for gloss, appHcation and leveling properties, discoloration, sHp resistance, scratch resistance, heel-mark resistance, scuff resistance, damp-mopping and detergent resistance, repairabiHty, lack of sediment, and removabiHty (3). RecoatabiHty and formula stabiHty are also important. A review of test methods is available (35). More than 20 ASTM test methods for floor poHshes exist. From the standpoint of product safety, sHp resistance is a particularly important variable and many test methods are available (39). 

Miscellaneous Fastness Tests. The fastness to hot pressiag, ISO 10S-X1 /, test is similar to the fastness to dry heat test except that the time of pressing is 15 s (again at 150, 180, and 210°C), and the test can either be carried out dry when a damp cotton fabric containing its own weight of water is placed on top of the dry test fabric, or wet when the test fabric also contains its own weight of water. 

Modtilus Measurements Another SCC test technique is the use of changes of modulus as a measure of the damping capacity of a metal. It is known that a sample of a given test material containing cracks will have a lower effec tive modulus than does a sample of identical material free of cracks. The technique provides a rapid and reliable evaluation of the susceptibility of a sample material to SCC in a specific environment. The so-called internal friction test concept can also be used to detect and probe nucleation and progress of cracking and the mechanisms controlling it. 

The RRS is defined for different levels of damping, as shown in Figure 14.13. The RRS that is more appropriate for the test object is chosen. The damping level will be assessed as noted earlier, otherwise 5% damping may be eonsidered. 

An RRS is normally constructed for several levels of critical dampings as illustrated in Figure 14.13. The most appropriate of these is then chosen for the purpose of testing. Any of the above response spectra can be developed into a time history of the earthquake, similar to that in Figure 14,12(b),... 

The information in Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 3.3 is relevant for protection criteria. Investigations [43] with steel-concrete test bodies have shown that even in unfavorable conditions with aerated large-area cathodes and small-area damp anodes in Cl -rich alkaline environments, or in decalcified (neutral) surroundings with additions of CU at test potentials of (/f.y.cuso4 = -0.75 and -0.85 V, cell formation is suppressed. After the experiments had proceeded for 6 months, the demounted specimens showed no recognizable corrosive attack. 

Assume that a damping factor of 0.707 or greater is good and provides a -3dB attenuation at the corner frequency and does not produce noise due to ringing. Also assume that the input line impedance is 50 ohms since the regulatory agencies use an TISN test which make the line impedance equal this value. Calculate the values needed in the common-mode inductor and Y capacitors ... 

Real world values do not allow a eapaeitor of this large a value. The largest value eapaeitor that will pass the ae leakage eurrent test is 0.05 pF. This is 27 pereent of the ealeulated eapaeitor value, so the induetor must be inereased 360 pereent in order to maintain the same eorner frequeney. The induetanee then beeomes 3.24mFI and the resultant damping faetor is 2.5, whieh is aeeeptable. 

One assumes that the line impedance is 50ohms (because that is what the LISN test s impedance is). This impedance is then the damping element within the reactive filter circuit. 

The interesting fact is that the two men just mentioned were initially working independently of each other. The initial analysis used infinitely stiff bearings and, while the method improved the results, it did not match the compressor critical speed test results consistently. Later work recognized the existence of a bearing oil film with elastic and damping properties.
