Dynamic Hardness Tester and Cure Meter [PDF]
The Shore hardness tester is used extensively throughout industry to determine the static modulus of materials. The new apparatus described here extends the capability of an indentor-type tester into the dynamic regime, and provides a measurement of the ...

Identification of Defective Joints in Beams via Torsional Vibration
The determination of the shear dynamic modulus in wood product panels is of greater importance than its determination in wood beams. Yet with regards to the effect of defects on the obtained values of shear modulus, this factor is used to detect the ...

Acoustic scattering from a strained region [PDF]
A composite material consists of a rubber filled with gas-filled microspheres. In underwater applications it is compressed hydrostatically by a pressure that may be not insignificant compared with the shear modulus of the rubber, so large strains are ...

Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]
Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.
