Zusammenfassung:This report includes: (1) the development of a viscoelastic materials selection guide for this research activity; (2) the development of an analytic statics model of the joint specimens; (3) the designs, fabrication and testing of 21 viscoelastic joint specimens, including the development of a new material; (4) the procurement, fabrication and assembly of test equipment for the test program at the Georgia Institute of Technology as well as the development of data reduction computer programs; (5) the development and successful demonstration of transient pulse and simplified steady state methods for evaluating energy losses in joints; and (6) the performance of outgassing tests on several viscoelastic materials.
