Determining the viscoelastic parameters of vulcanisates by the dynamic indentation method using a non-linear deformation model

摘要

There are now a number of methods and instruments for measuring the physicomechanical characteristics of vulcanisates and elastomers.In terms of the rate of application of the load,nominally they can be divided into static and dynamic methods.The most widely used of the static methods is hardness measurement.The given type of test is the simplest and reduces to determining the capacity of the material to withstand the introduction into it of a rigid indentor under the action of the force applied.
