DYNAMIC MODULI Storage and Loss
Perfectly Elastic Materials • Mechanical properties described by elastic moduli
Viscoelastic Materials • have both an elastic and viscous component • measurement of viscosity difficult by traditional methods
But how do you separate the viscous component from the solid component? solids liquid
Complex Modulus • Define a “complex” modulus that covers both elastic and viscous components of the material • For example, Young’s modulus for a viscoelastic material takes the form E* = E’ + iE” • Similar definitions hold for G and K
E’ is the storage modulus and measures the energy stored. It is like a spring. • E” is the loss modulus measures the mechanical energy converted to heat through viscous frictional forces. It is like the dashpot.
When the girls jump on the trampoline, it deforms and “stores” the energy in the stretched molecules. The trampoline snaps back and returns the energy, causing them to fly upwards.
When a diver hits the water, the kinetic energy of his fall is “lost” in the water. The water molecules slide past each other and result in heating.
We often speak of the complex modulus E*=E’ + i E” i is an imaginary number ( ), E’ is the storage modulus and E” the loss modulus • This notation is easier to deal with mathematically. i indicates that the storage modulus is “out of phase” with the loss modulus
Measuring Complex Moduli • Apply a sinusoidally varying force at frequency . • The strain will be out of phase with the stress by a phase angle . • One component is “in phase” with the strain (the elastic part); one component is out of phase (the viscous part)
Mathematically Strain: = o sin t Stress: = o sin(t + ) Stress o Strain o
The stress can be decomposed into 2 components, one in phase with the strain (sint) and one out of phase by 90° (cost) = ’ + ” = o’sint + o”cost
Loss modulus Storage modulus • We can write the stress-strain relationship
Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) Sample is subject to oscillating stress under compression, tension, or bending Good for more solid-like materials
Dynamic Rheometer Sample is subject to oscillating stress under shearing conditions Good for more liquid-like materials
Thermal Analysis • Dynamic instruments are usually often capable of complex thermal analysis • Temperature can be held steady, stepped, or ramped from one temperature to another
