Abstract

Considerable differences have been observed between the decay of oscillations occurring in a stretched rubber strip when vibrating in a longitudinal and transverse mode. A theory considering changes in strain and elastic stored energy is given which describes this effect. The design and construction of the apparatus to investigate quantitatively the difference in damping between the two oscillation modes are described. Results are presented using three rubber compounds covering the range of damping values usually found in rubbery materials. Measurements have shown that differences in damping between the two modes of oscillation can vary from approximately ten to one upto the order of a thousand to one.
