Abstract:
The dynamic deformation of a viscoelastic material can cause heat generation. This heat generation is an aspect of energy dissipation. The present paper investigates the contribution of crosslink type and density on energy dissipation mechanism in natural rubber compounds. The influences of these elements are investigated using a very high frequency (VHF) analyzer (VHF 104) and a dynamical mechanical analyzer (DMA). The VHF 104 analyzer follows transmissibility and vibration isolation principle, whereas DMA works on dynamical mechanical the deformation principle. Higher crosslink density promotes lower heat generation in rubber compounds. Tan δ interpretation for energy dissipation characteristics of rubbery compounds should be done judiciously to avoid wrong interpretations. Polysulfidic linkages show higher damping ratios ( ζ ) than monosulfidic or disulfidic linkages due to their dissipative nature. The natural frequency ( ω n ) of a system at a given mass is the function of its crosslink density.
