Dynamic mechanical properties of particulates: Application to iron‐epoxy composites

摘要

AbstractThe dynamic mechanical properties of composite materials, consisting of an epoxy matrix filled with iron particles, were determined over a temperature range. The storage‐ and loss moduli were evaluated in a Dynastat apparatus, with the parameters being the volume fraction of filler and the test frequency. A theoretical model was developed for comparing the experimental results with the theoretical predictions. A satisfactory correlation was obtained for the glassy region of the composit
