Determination of the complex elastic moduli of materials using a "free-free" bar technique

The objective of this research is to investigate the dynamic elastic properties of materials and their temperature and frequency dependence using an acoustic resonance based method. In this technique, the torsional, flexural, and/or longitudinal vibrational modes of a 'free-free' bar are s...
