Purpose: This study performed the oscillatory test using the texture analyzer to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of apples such as the storage modulus (E'), the loss modulus (E"), the complex modulus (${\mid}E^*{\mid}$) and the energy dissipated per cycle ($W_{diss}$). Methods: The sinusoidal deformation with the frequency of 1-10 Hz and the maximum displacement of 0.1 mm were applied to the flesh tissues of Fuji, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious apples. The Lissajous figure was used to measure the phase angle(${\delta}$) between stress and strain curve. Results: Trigger force was critical to the measurement of the phase angle. E', E", ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ and Wdiss were measured using the Lissajous figure and the phase angle. The complex modulus of Golden Delicious apple was significantly lower than those of Fuji apple and Red Delicious apple. Conclusions: Apple flesh was exhibiting more elasticity at low frequency, and more viscosity at high frequency. Dynamic compressive properties of Fuji apple were similar to those of Red Delicious apple but significantly different from those of Golden Delicious apple.

The change of elastic modulus(E'), loss modulus(E"), and loss $tangent(tan{\delta})$ were investigated on condition of double strain amplitude (DSA) at temperature of $-40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ for carbon black filled natural rubber. E', E", and $tan{\delta}$ were increased as it closed to the glass transition temperature due to decrease of rubber network flexibility and carbon black agglomerate interaction. In the micro strain range, energy loss showed maximum value because of the chain slippage in rubber matrix, but the regeneration of carbon black agglomerate and rubber matrix affected decrease of energy loss over the mid-range strain. As a results of regression analysis, $E'\;_{max}$ correlation with ${\Delta}E'$ $(E'\;_{0.4%DSA}-E'\;_{2.0%DSA})$ showed linear relationship.

It is well known that the loss factor and Young's modulus are fundamental mechanical properties of materials. Recently, the use of complex plastics is increasing for vibration proof. In this study, we evaluated two mechanical values of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene by using two different standard test methods of ASTM E 756 and ISO 6721. Because damping properties of material generally depend on temperature, test specimen‘s temperature were controlled in the temperature range between - $10^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$. The results shown that the loss factor of polycarbonate gradually increased as increasing temperature, while the Young's modulus decreased. However, the loss factor and the Young's modulus of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are varied somewhat at $60^{\circ}C$.

The viscoelastic properties of blends of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) for engineered flooring used on the Korean traditional ONDOL house floor heating system were investigated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Because MF resin is a thermosetting adhesive, the effect of MF rein was shown across all thermal behaviors. The addition of PVAc reduced the curing temperature. The DMTA thermogram of MF resin showed that the storage modulus (E') increased as the temperature was further increased as a result of the cross-linking induced by the curing reaction of the resin. The storage modulus (E') of MF resin increased both as a function of increasing temperature and with increasing heating rate. From isothermal DMTA results, peak $T_{tan{\delta}}$ values, maximum value of loss modulus (E") and the rigidities (${\Delta}E$) of MF/PVAc blends at room temperature as a function of open time, peak $T_{tan{\delta}}$ and maximum loss modulus (E") values were found to increase with blend MF content. Moreover, the rigidities of the 70:30 and 50:50 MF/PVAc blends were higher than those of the other blends, especially of 100% PVAc or MF. We concluded that blends the MF/PVAc blend ratios correlate during the adhesion process.

Offshore structures, such as a platform, a buoy, or a floating vessel, are exposed to several dynamic loads, and viscoelastic damping material is used to reduce the vibration of offshore structures. It is important to know the properties of viscoelastic materials because loss factor and Young's modulus of the viscoelastic damping material are dependent on frequency and temperature. In this study, an advanced technique for obtaining accurate loss factor and Young's modulus of the viscoelastic damping material is introduced based on a multi degree of freedom curve-fitting method and the RKU (Ross-Kerwin-Ungar) equations. The technique is based on a modified experimental procedure from ASTM E 756-04. Loss factor and Young's modulus of the viscoelastic damping material are measured for different temperatures by performing the test in a temperature-controlled vibration measurement room where temperature varies from 5 to 45 degrees Celsius.

It is well known that the loss factor and Young's modulus are fundamental mechanical properties of materials. In this study. the dynamic characteristics of plastics are evaluated by using two different standard test methods which are ASTM E 756 and ISO 6721. Polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene were used as test specimens. In order to evaluate vibration of damping properties with temperature, we measured loss factor and Young's modulus of the specimens the temperature range between $-10^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. The Young's modulus for polycarbonate decreased significantly as increasing temperature, while the loss factor increased. However, the Young's modulus and loss factor of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are varied somewhat with temperature.

There are many standard methods for measuring vibration damping properties of the beam type material. Among them, three standards ASTM E 756, ISO 6721 and JIS G 0602, are compared. Loss factor and Young's modulus of the steel beam are evaluated by using five different methods and their results are compared. Logarithmic decay method and half-power bandwidth method are used to calculate the loss factor. It was observed that Young’s modulus is agree well, but loss factors are different from test to test. So the same test method must be applied to measure damping properties.

Measurements of Young's modulus, dielectric loss and a.c. conductivity have been carried out on EPDM rubber samples loaded with different concentrations of $CrCl_3$ (0,2,4 and 6 phr). The values of Young's modulus was found to be linearly dependent on the $CrCl_3$ content. Variation of the dielectric loss with temperature showed that $CrCl_3$ may act as plasticizer. However, at higher frequencies the dielectric loss was found to be independent of frequency and the rubber samples may behave as non-polar dielectric. Investigations of the a.c conductivity suggested that the conduction in these rubber samples can be described by small polaron tunneling. In addition, conductivity was found to increase with $CrCl_3$ content.

본 연구에서는 생분해성 고분자인 polybutylene succinate-adipate (PBS-AD)에 옥수수 전분을 충전제로 첨가한 생분해성 복합재의 열적성질에 대해 고찰하였다. 열분석은 온도에 대한 함수로서 복합재 물질의 화학적 성질과 중량 감소율을 측정할 수 있는 분석적인 방법으로 사용되고 었다. 옥수수 전분의 열안정성은 순수한 생분해성 고분자인 PBS-AD보다 낮았다. 옥수수 전분의 함량이 증가할수록 생분해성 복합재의 열안정성과 열분해 온도는 감소하였고 회분의 함량은 증가하였다. 이것은 생분해성 복합재의 계면에서의 결합려이 옥수수 전분의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 감소하였기 때문이다. 옥수수 전분의 함량이 증가할수록 생분해성 복합재의 유리전이온도(T_g) 와 용융온도(T_m) 에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 옥수수 전분이 혼합된 생분해성 고분자 복합재의 저장 탄성율(E')과 손실 탄성율(E") 값은 PBS-AD보다 높았다. 이 결과는 옥수수 전분의 첨가로 인하여 생분해성 복합재의 강성이 증가하였기 때문이다. 고온에서 생분해성 고분자 복합재의 감소된 저장 탄성율 값은 온도가 증가할수록 고분자 사슬의 운동성이 증가하기 때문이다. 위의 결과들로부터, 옥수수 전분이 생분해성 고분자 복합재를 제조하는데 충전제로서 사용이 가능하다고 예상할 수 있었으며 옥수수 선분과 생분해성 고분자의 계면에서의 결합력을 향상시키기 위하여 결합제의 사용이 요구된다.
