Damping material characterization
We measure the mechanical properties of your viscoelastic damping materials, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and damping loss factor, across frequency and temperature.
Description
Accurate mechanical characterization of damping materials is critical to designing systems that manage noise, vibration, and harshness. Mecanum tests viscoelastic materials with precision, measuring Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and damping loss factor across a broad range of frequencies and temperatures, so your data reflects real-world conditions. Because viscoelastic behavior depends on both frequency and temperature, this precision is what makes reliable NVH design and finite element modeling possible.
Our methods
Oberst beam
For damping and stiffness of material samples. Temperature range: -40 to +130 °C.
Center Point
For damping and stiffness with a free-free beam method. Temperature range: 0 to 60 °C.
Brake damping test
For the damping ratio of brake pad insulator shims. Temperature range: -10 to +120 °C.
