Plastics — Determination of dynamic mechanical properties — Part 12: Compressive vibration — Non-resonance method

This document describes a compressive vibration, non-resonance method for determining the components of the compressive complex modulus E* of polymers at frequencies typically in the range 0,01 Hz to 100 Hz. The method is applicable for measuring dynamic storage moduli of semi-rigid polymers in the range 1 MPa to 1 GPa. This method is particularly suited to the measurements of dynamic moduli and loss factors of semi‑rigid plastics in the shape of a right-angled prism, cylinder or tube and can be conveniently used to study the variation of dynamic properties with temperature and frequency through most of the glass‑rubber relaxation region (see ISO 6721-1).

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical-
chemical properties.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6721-12:2009), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— NOTE 1and NOTE 2 in Clause 1 have been removed;
— the normative references have been updated;
— the description for alternate loading assemblies has been added and the accuracy specification for
apparatus has been updated;
— the preferred test specimen sizes have been removed and the requirement for the ratio of thickness/
width of the specimen has been added;
— the document has been revised editorially.

4 Principle
The specimen is subjected to a sinusoidal compressive force or deformation at a frequency significantly
below the fundamental resonance frequency for the clamped/free longitudinal mode. The amplitudes
of the force and displacement cycles applied to the specimen and the phase angle between these cycles
are measured. The storage and loss components of the compressive complex modulus and the loss
factor are calculated.

5.1 Loading assembly
5.1.1 General
The requirements on the apparatus are that it shall permit measurements of the amplitudes of, and
the phase angle between, the force and displacement cycles for a specimen subjected to a sinusoidal
compressive force or deformation. Various designs of apparatus are possible; an example of a suitable
version is shown schematically in Figure 1. A sinusoidal force is generated by the vibrator V and applied
to one end of the specimen S by means of the compression plate C . The amplitude and freq
