BS 7544:1991

This standard BS 7544:1991 Method for graphical presentation of the complex modulus of damping materials is classified in these ICS categories:

• 47.020.01 General standards related to shipbuilding and marine structures

This International Standard establishes the graphical presentation of the complex modulus of viscoelastic vibration damping materials which are macroscopically homogeneous, linear and thermorheologically simple. The complex modulus may be the shear modulus, Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, longitudinal wave propagation modulus, or Lamé modulus. This graphical presentation is convenient and sufficiently accurate for many vibration damping materials.

The preferred nomenclature (parameters, symbols and definitions) is also given.

The primary purpose of this International Standard is to improve communication among the diverse technological fields concerned with vibration damping materials.

Establishes graphical presentation of the complex modulus of viscoelastic vibration damping materials, which are macroscopically homogeneous, linear, and thermorheologically simple.
