Abstract
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 $60^{\circ}C$.
