In order to use viscoelastic materials efficiently for noise and vibration control, or th qualify newly developed materials, knowledge of the Young' s modulus and loss factor is essemtial. These material properties, the so-called complex Young' s modulus, are frequently treated as dynamic charicteristics because of their dependence upon the frequency. Many techniques have been developed and verified for measuring complex Young' s modulus of viscoelastic materials. Among them, the impedance method is preferable in order to obtain the frequency information in detail. In this method, a cylindrical or prismatic specimen is excited into longitudinal harmonic vibration at one end, the other being fixed, and the resulting force is measured at the driving or fixed end. The amplitude ratio of the two signals and phase angle between them are then used to compute the material properties using various mathematical models. In this paper, the impedance method is investigated theoretically and experimentally. A way to determine the specimen geometry which is most appropriate for the identification of complex Young' s modulus using the lumped mass model is presented and discussed. Then experimental results supporting the theoretical predictions are presented.

에폭시-층상실리케이트 나노콤포지트의 여러 가지 특성인 전기적, 기계적, 구조적 특성에 대해서 많은 연구가 진행되었고, 그에 대한 특성 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 절연성능에 대한 평가는 우수하지만 열적특성 중열전도에 대한 영향은 그히 부족한 상태였다. 열적특성은 열적열화의 원인이 되어 신뢰성에 크게 영향을 준다. 여러종류 Organoclay(10A, 15A, 20A, 30B, 93A)의 에폭기-층상실리케이트 나노콤포지트 Tg 분석결과 10A의 경우 우수한 열적특성을 나타내었다. DNA 점탄성 및 기계적 손실측정에서도 10A의 경우 고온부($140^{\circ}C$) 탄성계수 및 기계적손실 피르가 가장작고, 고온으로 이동되어 발생된 경우로 열적 특성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 열전도 측정결과 강력초음파를 적용한 경우와 미적용의 경우 열전도측정으로 볼 때 전반적으로 초음파 적용 경우 열전도향상이 크게 증가된 결과를 얻었다. 향후 몰드 및 함침절연의 전력기기 적용시 유용한 자료로 이용이 가능하여, 더욱더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Polystyrene/polycarbonate 조성이 약 50/50인 3종류의 Poly(carbonate-g-styrene) 공중합체의 동적 탄성율, E*($\omega$)와 동적 스트레인-광학계수 O*($\omega$)을 유리전이 영역부근의 여러온도에서 동시에 측정하여 연구하였다. 두 개의 공중합체는 각각의 스티렌 그라프트쇄 에 5, 10 wt%의 MAH를 함유하고 있다. 이들 공중합체의 E*($\omega$)와 O*($\omega$)완화거동과 그라 프트 공중합체의 상용성과 연관하여 비교 고찰하였다. 공중합체들의 E*($\omega$)는 전형적인 무 정형 고분자의 유리전이 완하거동을 보였으며 정성적인 차이를 발견할수 없었다. 그러나 고 강도의 단일 tan$\delta$분산의 저주파수 영역에 미세분산을 나타내, 공중합체는 2상으로 분리되 어 있음이 추정되엇다. 폴리스티렌 그라프트체에 무수 말레인산 함유량이 증가함에 따라, 저 주파수 영역의 미세피크가 $\alpha$주분산에 병합되어 성분 고분자간의 상호 형동성이 증가함을 알수 있었다. 3공중합체의 유사한 기계적 특성과는 달리, 광학적 완화 스펙트럼 O*($\omega$)는 정 성적으로 명확한 차이를 보여 공중합체들의 광학완화 거동이 명확히 다름을 나타냈다. 기계 적 특성보다는 광학적 특성이 공중합체내의 성분 고분자의 미세한 완하 거동에 훨씬 민감한 응답을나타냈다. 이러한 특성적인 공중합체의 O*($\omega$)차이를 공중합체의 조성단일 고분자 PS, PC의 O*($\omega$)의 가성성을 가정하여 모사하였다 모사에서 구한 광학적 부분 기여 파라메 터를 사용하여 공중합체의 상용성을 고찰하였다.

Two types of bolted lap joints, one with a viscoelastic layer and the other without the viscoelastic layer were chosen to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the joints with the mechanical properties of the bolts of the joints being taken as computational variables. The finite element method was used along with the impact hammer technique to verify the FEM model. The results in the bolted lap joints reveal that the higher the Young's Modulus for the bolts are the higher the natural frequencies results for the joints. However, the natural frequency differences in the first and second mode are not substantial but become noticeable in the higher modes. Lower natural frequencies were obtained for the bolted lap joints with the viscoelastic layer when compared with those of the bolted lap joints without the viscoelastic layer. And the differences in the natural frequencies for the two types of joints are relatively small in the first and second mode whereas in the higher mode the differences become significant. The loss factors were observed to be significant especially in the second mode for the bolted lap joints with the viscoelastic layer.

Model tests were performed to investigate the mechanism of lateral earth pressure on a buried pipe, which was installed in a plastic flowing soil mass undergoing lateral movement. On the basis of failure mode tests, the equation of lateral earth pressure to apply Maxwell's visco-elastic model was proposed to consider the soil deformation velocity. Through a series of model tests of differential soil deformation velocity, lateral earth pressure of theoretical equation was compared with experimental results. When lateral soil movement was raised, the lateral earth pressure acting on buried pipe increases linearly with the soil deformation velocity. It shows that the lateral earth pressure on buried pipe is largely affected by soil deformation velocity. When plastic soil movement was raised, lateral earth pressure predicted by theoretical equation showed good agreement with experimental results. Also, coefficient of viscosity by theoretical equation had a good agreement with direct shear test results.

In order to investigate the physical properties of rubber blend compound, this experiment was carried out on the cure rate, loss tangent, reinforcement and abrasion properties of S-SBR (solution styrene-butadiene rubber) blends containing silane coupled silica and E-SBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) blends containing carbon black as a model compound. E-SBR blend showed the highest total bound rubber(TBR), while S-SBR blends showed constant TBR level regardless of rubber type. Rapid cure rate was achieved when the styrene and vinyl content of rubber microstructure decreased and TBR content of rubber compounds increased. The modulus as the index of rubber reinforcement showed the linear relation with TBR content. The large amount of PICO loss was observed when the styrene and vinyl content of rubber microstructure increased, while the small amount of PICO loss was observed when the ratio of bu-tadiene increased in the S-SBR blends with silane copuled silica. The high loss tangent at $0^{\circ}C$, the low loss tangent at $60^{\circ}C$, and the large difference of loss tangent were shown in the S-SBR blends with high styrene content compared to E-SBR blend.

The objective of this research is to study the mechanical and vibration characteristics of vibration damping aluminum panels for automotive parts. For this purpose, the test and simulation results of aluminum-resin hybrid materials and aluminum sheet materials were compared. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of the hybrid material were approximately 10% lower than aluminum sheet. Also, it was showed that the hybrid material have lower natural frequency than aluminum sheet, and it was confirmed that loss factor increases as the thickness of resin increases. Finally, it is confirmed that the test results and the analysis results are similar with each other and the performance prediction of the materials are possible by FEA.

Due to enormous market growing of electric vehicles without combustion engine, reducing unwanted BSR (buzz, squeak, and rattle) noise is highly demanded for vehicle quality and performance. Particularly, innerbelt weatherstrips which not only block wind noise, rain, and dust from outside, but also reduce noise and vibration of door glass and vehicle are required to exhibit high damping properties for improved BSR performance of the vehicle. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), which can be recycled and have lighter weight than thermoset elastomers, are receiving much attention for weatherstrip material, but TPEs exhibit low material damping and compression set causing frictional noise and vibration between the door glass and the weatherstrip. In this study, high damping EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer)/PP (polypropylene) thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) were investigated by varying EPDM/PP ratio and ENB (ethylidene norbornene) fraction in EPDM. Viscoelastic properties of TPV materials were characterized by assuming that the material damping is directly related to the viscoelasticity. The optimum material damping factor (tanδ peak 0.611) was achieved with low PP ratio (14 wt%) and high ENB fraction (8.9 wt%), which was increased by 140% compared to the reference (tanδ 0.254). The improved damping is believed due to high fraction of flexible EPDM chains and higher interfacial slippage area of EPDM particles generated by increasing ENB fraction in EPDM. The stick-slip test was conducted to characterize frictional noise and vibration of the TPV weatherstrip. With improved TPV material damping, the acceleration peak of frictional vibration decreased by about 57.9%. This finding can not only improve BSR performance of electric vehicles by designing material damping of weatherstrips but also contribute to various structural applications such as urban air mobility or aircrafts, which require lightweight and high damping properties.

In the search for broadband damping composites, it is desirable to have polymers with a broad and high loss region, covering the entire temperature and frequency range of interest. Interpenetrating polymer networks, IPN's, are materials composed of two or more crosslinked polymers intimately and irrevocably interwinded. The resulting distribution of microenviron-ments can result in a materials with a high mechanical loss broad end over that of either polymer component alone. In this study, several series of copolymer, crosslinked copolymer and copolymer/copolymer IPN's were synthesized for possible use as broadband damping materials. Then their dynamic tensile properties were measured and compared with the damping properties of sandwich composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the temperature of loss peak may be varied over a wide temperature range with formulation. The compatibility of IPN`s was depended on the compatibility of A and B polymers as well as crosslink density. The damping factor(tan ${\delta}_c$) of composites became greater when a polymer of approximate storage module(E`) range of 5X10$^7$ to 10$^9$ dyne/cm$^2$ and large tan ${\delta}$ at the same time was used. The damping properities of poly (2-EHA80-co-St20)/poly(2-EHA20-co-St80) IPN`s crosslinked with 3%-DEGDM were relatively better over a broad temperature range.

The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring the slumping resistance of resin composites and to relate it to the rheological characteristics. Five commercial hybrid composites (Z100. Z250. DenFil, Tetric Ceram. ClearFil) and a nanofill composite (Z350) were used to make disc-shaped specimens of 2 mm thickness. An aluminum mold with square shaped cutting surface was pressed onto the composite discs to make standardized imprints. The imprints were light-cured either immediately (non-slumped) or after waiting for 3 minutes at $25^{\circ}C$ (slumped). White stone replicas were made and then scanned for topography using a laser 3-D profilometer. Slumping resistance index (SRI) was defined as the ratio of the groove depth of the slumped specimen to that of the non-slumped specimen. The pre-cure viscoelasticity of each composite was evaluated by an oscillatory shear test and normal stress was measured by a squeeze test using a rheometer. Flow test was also performed using a flow tester. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the viscoelastic properties and the SRI. SRI varied between the six materials (Z100 < DenFil < Z250 < ClearFil < Tetric Ceram < Z350). The SRI was strongly correlated with the viscous (loss) shear modulus G' but not with the loss tangent. Also. slumping resistance was more closely related to the resistance to shear flow than to the normal stress. Slumping tendency could be quantified using the imprint method and SRI. The index may be applicable to evaluate the clinical handling characteristics of composites.
