ASTM E1875-20a

1.1''This test method covers the determination of the dynamic elastic properties of elastic materials. Specimens of these materials possess specific mechanical resonant frequencies that are determined by the modulus of elasticity, mass, and geometry of the test specimen. Therefore, the dynamic elastic properties of a material can be computed if the geometry, mass, and mechanical resonant frequencies of a suitable test specimen of that material can be measured. The dynamic Young's modulus is determined using the fundamental flexural resonant frequency. The dynamic shear modulus, or modulus of rigidity, is found using the fundamental torsional resonant frequency. Dynamic Young's modulus and dynamic shear modulus are used to compute Poisson's ratio.

1.2''This test method is specifically appropriate for materials that are elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic (1).2

1.3''Materials of a composite character (particulate, whisker, or fiber reinforced) may be tested by this test method with the understanding that the character (volume fraction, size, morphology, distribution, orientation, elastic properties, and interfacial bonding) of the reinforcement in the test specimen will have a direct effect on the elastic properties. These reinforcement effects shall be considered in interpreting the test results for composites.

1.4''This test method shall not be used for determination of Poisson'''s ratio of anisotropic materials.

1.5''This test method should not be used for specimens that have cracks or voids that are major discontinuities in the specimen.

1.6''The test method should not be used when materials cannot be fabricated in a uniform rectangular or circular cross section.

1.7''An elevated-temperature furnace and cryogenic chamber are described for measuring the dynamic elastic moduli as a function of temperature from '''195'''''C to 1200'''''C.

1.8''This test method may be modified for use in quality control. A range of acceptable resonant frequencies is determined for a specimen with a particular geometry and mass. Any specimen with a frequency response falling outside this frequency range is rejected. The actual modulus of each specimen need not be determined as long as the limits of the selected frequency range are known to include the resonant frequency that the specimen must possess if its geometry and mass are within specified tolerances.

1.9''There are material-specific ASTM standards that cover the determination of resonant frequencies and elastic properties of specific materials by sonic resonance or by impulse excitation of vibration. Test Methods C215, C623, C747, C848, C1198, C1259, and C1548 differ from this test method in several areas (for example; specimen size, dimensional tolerances, specimen preparation). The testing of these materials shall be done in compliance with these material specific standards. Where possible, the procedures, specimen specifications, and calculations are consistent with these test methods.
