Journal ArticleDOI
Kelvin-Voigt versus fractional derivative model as constitutive relations for viscoelastic materials
TL;DR: In this paper, three simple constitutive relationships for application to viscoelastic materials are studied for both a rubbery and a glassy visco-elastic material are fit by the three schemes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A variable stiffness device selection and design tool for lightly damped structures
TL;DR: In this article, a method for selecting and understanding the performance of variable stiffness devices was developed to select a variable stiffness device for vibration control of a structure can be difficult due to the wide variety of types and capabilities of variable stiffeners.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Technique for the Evaluation of Strain Dependent Material Properties of Hard Coatings
TL;DR: In this article, a free-free boundary condition, an electromagnetic excitation source, a vacuum chamber, and a laser vibrometer based surface measurement system has been developed that permits high levels of excitation on highly damped specimens with a minimal amount of unwanted systematic error.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nondestructive electromagnetic material characterization using a dual waveguide probe: A full wave solution
Milo W. Hyde,James W. Stewart,Michael J. Havrilla,William P. Baker,Edward J. Rothwell,Dennis P. Nyquist +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-destructive technique for determining the complex permittivity and permeability of a perfect electric conductor backed magnetic shielding material using a dual waveguide probe is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical application of fractional derivative model constitutive relations for viscoelastic materials
TL;DR: In this article, a differential equation describing the motion of a viscoelastic bar is developed and studied, where the bar material is modeled using a fractional derivative based constitutive relationship.
