Characterization and Modeling of the Viscoelastic Behavior of a Self-Adhesive Rubber Using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Tests Lucie Rouleau Rogério Pirk Bert Pluymers Wim Desmet 10.6084/m9.figshare.7509725.v1 https://scielo.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Characterization_and_Modeling_of_the_Viscoelastic_Behavior_of_a_Self-Adhesive_Rubber_Using_Dynamic_Mechanical_Analysis_Tests/7509725 <div><p>ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is twofold. The first one is to assess the applicability of approaches based on dynamic-mechanical analysis to investigate the viscoelastic properties of a self-adhesive synthetic rubber. The second goal is to identify the parameters of a viscoelastic model which accurately represents the frequency-dependent mechanical properties. For that purpose, the time-temperature superposition principle is successfully applied to build the master curves of the material up to 1 MHz. The thickness of the samples and the thermal expansion effects are found to have a negligible influence on the mechanical properties measured by dynamic-mechanical analysis. The parameters of a generalized Maxwell model and a fractional derivative model are identified from the obtained master curves and lead to an accurate representation of the frequency-dependent mechanical properties of the rubber.</p></div> 2018-12-26 03:38:50 Dynamic mechanical analysis Viscoelastic material Generalized Maxwell model Fractional derivative model
