Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO

member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical

committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has

the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in

liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted

by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International

Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
dynamic elastic moduli

adiabatic elastic moduli, which are dynamic Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio

NOTE Adiabatic elastic moduli are obtained by the sonic resonance method.
3.1.1
Young's modulus (E)
elastic modulus in tension or compression
E = σ / ε
where
E is Young's modulus in pascals;
σ is the tension or compression stress in pascals;
ε is the tension or compression strain.
3.1.2
shear modulus (G)
elastic modulus in shear or torsion
G = τ /γ
© ISO 2002 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 4 ----------------------
ISO 17561:2002(E)
where
G is the shear modulus in pascals;
τ is the shear or torsional stress in pascals;
γ is the shear or torsional strain.
3.1.3
Poisson's ratio (ν)

ratio of transverse strain to the corresponding axial strain resulting from uniformly distributed axial stress below the

proportional limit of the material

NOTE In isotropic materials, Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (G) and Poisson's ratio (ν) are related by the following

equation:
ν=−EG/(2 ) 1
3.2
Vibrations
3.2.1
flexural vibrations

those vibrations apparent when the oscillation in a slender bar is in plane normal to the length dimension

NOTE Also defined as vibrations in a flexural mode.
3.2.2
torsional vibrations

those vibrations apparent when the oscillation in each cross-section plane of a slender bar is such that the plane

twists around the length dimension axis
NOTE Also defined as vibrations in a torsional mode.
3.3
resonance

the state if, when a slender bar driven into one of the above modes of vibration, the imposed frequency is such that

the resultant displacements for a given amount of driving force are at a maximum

NOTE The resonant frequencies are natural vibration frequencies which are determined by the elastic modulus, mass and

dimensions of the test piece.
4 Summary of test method

This test method measures the flexural or torsional frequencies of test specimens of rectangular prism or cylindrical

geometry by exciting them at continuously variable frequencies. Mechanical excitation of the specimens is provided

through the use of a transducer that transforms a cyclic electrical signal into a cyclic mechanical force on the test

piece. A second transducer senses the resulting mechanical vibrations of the test piece and transforms them into

an electrical signal. The amplitude and the frequency of the signal are measured by an oscilloscope or other means

to detect resonance. The peak response is obtained at the resonant frequency. The fundamental resonant

frequencies, dimensions and mass of the specimen are used to calculate the dynamic elastic moduli. The Young's

modulus is determined from the flexural resonance frequency, and the shear modulus is determined from the

torsional resonance frequency, together with the test piece dimensions and mass. Poisson's ratio is determined

from the Young's modulus and the shear modulus.

5 Apparatus
5.1 General

There are various techniques that may be used to determine the resonant frequency of the test piece. The test

piece may be excited by direct mechanical contact of a vibrator, or it may be suspended by a wire from a vibrator. It

may be driven electromagnetically by attaching thin foils of magnetic material to one surface, or electrostatically by

attaching an electrode to one surface.

One example of the test apparatus is shown in Figure 1. The driving circuit consists of an oscillator, an amplifier, a

driver and a frequency counter. The detecting circuit consists of a detector, an amplifier and an oscilloscope.

Figure 1 shows the suspension style of the apparatus. The direct contact support style of the test apparatus, shown

in Figure 2, is also possible. It consists of a variable-frequency audio oscillator, used to generate a sinusoidal

voltage, and a power amplifier and suitable transducer to convert the electrical signal to a mechanical driving

vibration. A frequency meter (preferably digital) monitors the audio oscillator output to provide accurate frequency

determination. A suitable suspension coupling system supports the test piece. A transducer detector acts to detect

mechanical vibration in the specimen and to convert it into an electrical signal which is passed through an amplifier

and displayed on an indicating meter. The meter may be a voltmeter, a microammeter or an oscilloscope. An

oscilloscope is recommended because it enables the operator to positively identify resonances, including higher

order harmonics, by Lissajous figure analysis. If a Lissajous figure is desired, the output of the oscillator is also

coupled to the horizontal plates of the oscilloscope.

The driver shall be able to convert electrical vibration to mechanical vibration. The frequency response of the driver

transducer across the frequency range of interest shall have at least a 6,5 kHz bandwidth before − 3 dB power loss
