Plastics - Determination of dynamic mechanical properties - Part 1: General principles (ISO 6721-1:2011)

The various parts of ISO 6721 specify methods for the determination of the dynamic mechanical properties of rigid plastics within the region of linear viscoelastic behaviour. This part of ISO 6721 is an introductory section which includes the definitions and all aspects that are common to the individual test methods described in the subsequent parts. Different deformation modes may produce results that are not directly comparable. For example, tensile vibration results in a stress which is uniform across the whole thickness of the specimen, whereas flexural measurements are influenced preferentially by the properties of the surface regions of the specimen. Values derived from flexural-test data will be comparable to those derived from tensile-test data only at strain levels where the stress-strain relationship is linear and for specimens which have a homogeneous structure.

Kunststoffe - Bestimmung dynamisch-mechanischer Eigenschaften - Teil 1: Allgemeine Grundlagen (ISO 6721-1:2011)

Die verschiedenen Teile von ISO 6721 legen Verfahren zur Bestimmung der dynamisch-mechanischen
Eigenschaften von steifen Kunststoffen im Bereich des linear-viskoelastischen Verhaltens fest. Dieser Teil von
ISO 6721 ist ein Einführungsteil, der die Definitionen und alle Gesichtspunkte enthält, die für die einzelnen, in
den folgenden Teilen beschriebenen Prüfverfahren gültig sind.
Unterschiedliche Deformationsarten können Ergebnisse hervorrufen, die nicht direkt vergleichbar sind. Zum
Beispiel ergeben Zugschwingungen Spannungen, die über die gesamte Dicke des Probekörpers gleichförmig
sind, während Biege-Messungen bevorzugt durch die Eigenschaften von Oberflächen-Gebieten des Probekörpers
beeinflusst sind.
Eigenschaftswerte aus Biegeprüfungen sind nur mit solchen aus Zugprüfungen vergleichbar in Spannungsbereichen,
in denen die Spannungs-Dehnungs-Beziehung linear ist, und für Probekörper mit homogener
Struktur.

Plastiques - Détermination des propriétés mécaniques dynamiques - Partie 1: Principes généraux (ISO 6721-1:2011)

Les diff�rentes parties de l'ISO 6721 sp�cifient des m�thodes pour la d�termination des propri�t�s m�caniques dynamiques de plastiques rigides dans le domaine de comportement visco�lastique lin�aire. L'ISO 6721-1:2011 �tablit des principes g�n�raux incluant les d�finitions et tous les aspects communs � toutes les m�thodes individuelles, d�crites dans les parties subs�quentes.
Les diff�rents modes de d�formation peuvent produire des r�sultats qui ne sont pas directement comparables. Par exemple, la vibration en traction conduit � une contrainte uniforme dans toute l'�paisseur de l'�prouvette, alors que les mesurages en flexion sont influenc�s pr�f�rentiellement par les propri�t�s des couches superficielles de l'�prouvette.
Les valeurs d�coulant des donn�es de l'essai de flexion seront comparables � celles d�coulant des donn�es de l'essai de traction seulement aux niveaux de d�formation pour lesquels la relation contrainte-d�formation est lin�aire, et pour des �prouvettes de structure homog�ne.

Polimerni materiali - Ugotavljanje dinamičnih mehanskih lastnosti - 1. del: Splošna načela (ISO 6721-1:2011)

Različni deli ISO 6721 določajo metode za ugotavljanje dinamičnih mehanskih lastnosti togih polimernih materialov v okviru linearnega viskoelastičnega obnašanja. Ta del ISO 6721 je uvodni del, ki vključuje definicije in vse vidike, ki so skupni posameznim preskusnim metodam, opisanim v naslednjih delih. Različni načini deformacije lahko privedejo do rezultatov, ki niso neposredno primerljivi. Natezna vibracija ima na primer za posledico napetost, ki je enakomerna po vsej debelini vzorca, na upogibne meritve pa vplivajo lastnosti površinskih predelov vzorca. Vrednosti, dobljene iz podatkov upogibnega preskusa, so primerljive z vrednostmi, dobljenimi iz podatkov nateznega preskusa, le pri ravneh deformacije, pri katerih je razmerje med napetostjo in deformacijo linearno, in pri vzorcih s homogeno strukturo.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 6721 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6721-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2, Mechanical
properties.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6721-1:2001), of which it constitutes a minor
revision involving the following changes:
⎯ a new subclause (9.6), covering the case when the dynamic-strain amplitude is varied, has been added to
the procedure clause;
⎯ the expression of results clause (Clause 10) and the test report clause (Clause 12) have been modified
accordingly [Clause 10 by the addition of a new paragraph (the third) and Clause 12 by the addition of a
new item, item n)].
ISO 6721 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Determination of dynamic
mechanical properties:
⎯ Part 1: General principles
⎯ Part 2: Torsion-pendulum method
⎯ Part 3: Flexural vibration — Resonance-curve method

Introduction
The methods specified in the first nine parts of ISO 6721 can be used for determining storage and loss moduli
of plastics over a range of temperatures or frequencies by varying the temperature of the specimen or the
frequency of oscillation. Plots of the storage or loss moduli, or both, are indicative of viscoelastic
characteristics of the specimen. Regions of rapid changes in viscoelastic properties at particular temperatures
or frequencies are normally referred to as transition regions. Furthermore, from the temperature and
frequency dependencies of the loss moduli, the damping of sound and vibration of polymer or metal-polymer
systems can be estimated.
Apparent discrepancies may arise in results obtained under different experimental conditions. Without
changing the observed data, reporting in full (as described in the various parts of ISO 6721) the conditions
under which the data were obtained will enable apparent differences observed in different studies to be
reconciled.
The definitions of complex moduli apply exactly only to sinusoidal oscillations with constant amplitude and
constant frequency during each measurement. On the other hand, measurements of small phase angles
between stress and strain involve some difficulties under these conditions. Because these difficulties are not
involved in some methods based on freely decaying vibrations and/or varying frequency near resonance,
these methods are used frequently (see ISO 6721-2 and ISO 6721-3). In these cases, some of the equations
that define the viscoelastic properties are only approximately valid.

rigid plastics within the region of linear viscoelastic behaviour. This part of ISO 6721 is an introductory section
which includes the definitions and all aspects that are common to the individual test methods described in the

Different deformation modes may produce results that are not directly comparable. For example, tensile
vibration results in a stress which is uniform across the whole thickness of the specimen, whereas flexural
measurements are influenced preferentially by the properties of the surface regions of the specimen.
Values derived from flexural-test data will be comparable to those derived from tensile-test data only at strain
levels where the stress-strain relationship is linear and for specimens which have a homogeneous structure.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
[7]
NOTE Some of the terms defined here are also defined in ISO 472 . The definitions given here are not strictly
identical with, but are equivalent to, those in ISO 472.
3.1
complex modulus

M
ratio of dynamic stress, given by σσtf=πexp i2t , and dynamic strain, given by
() ( )
A
⎡⎤
εεtf=πexp i 2t−δ , of a viscoelastic material that is subjected to a sinusoidal vibration, where σ and

⎣⎦
ε are the amplitudes of the stress and strain cycles, f is the frequency, δ is the phase angle between stress
A
and strain (see 3.5 and Figure 1) and t is time
NOTE 1 It is expressed in pascals (Pa).
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗
NOTE 2 Depending on the mode of deformation, the complex modulus might be one of several types: E , G , K or L
(see Table 3).

M = M′ + iM″ (see 3.2 and 3.3) (1)
where
1/ 2
i1=−() = −1
For the relationships between the different types of complex modulus, see Table 1.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗
NOTE 3 For isotropic viscoelastic materials, only two of the elastic parameters G , E , K , L and µ are independent
∗ ∗
(µ is the complex Poisson's ratio, given by µ = µ′ + iµ″).
NOTE 4 The most critical term containing Poisson's ratio µ is the “volume term” 1 − 2µ, which has values between 0
and 0,4 for µ between 0,5 and 0,3. The relationships in Table 1 containing the “volume term” 1 − 2µ can only be used if
this term is known with sufficient accuracy.
It can be seen from Table 1 that the “volume term” 1 − 2µ can only be estimated with any confidence from a knowledge of
the bulk modulus K or the uniaxial-strain modulus L and either E or G. This is because K and L measurements involve
deformations when the volumetric strain component is relatively large.
NOTE 5 Up to now, no measurement of the dynamic mechanical bulk modulus K, and only a small number of results
relating to relaxation experiments measuring K(t), have been described in the literature.
NOTE 6 The uniaxial-strain modulus L is based upon a load with a high hydrostatic-stress component. Therefore
values of L compensate for the lack of K values, and the “volume term” 1 − 2µ can be estimated with sufficient accuracy
based upon the modulus pairs (G, L) and (E, L). The pair (G, L) is preferred, because G is based upon loads without a
hydrostatic component.
NOTE 7 The relationships given in Table 1 are valid for the complex moduli as well as their magnitudes (see 3.4).
NOTE 8 Most of the relationships for calculating the moduli given in the other parts of this International Standard are, to
some extent, approximate. They do not take into account e.g. “end effects” caused by clamping the specimens, and they
include other simplifications. Using the relationships given in Table 1 therefore often requires additional corrections to be
made. These are given in the literature (see e.g. References [1] and [2] in the Bibliography).

under test (i.e. whether the viscoelastic behaviour is linear or non-linear) and the friction between moving and fixed
components of the apparatus (see Annex B).

frequencies of the peak amplitudes in a resonance curve
NOTE 1 The subscript i refers to the order of the resonance vibration.
NOTE 2 Resonance frequencies are expressed in hertz (Hz).
NOTE 3 Resonance frequencies for viscoelastic materials derived from measurements of displacement amplitude will
be slightly different from those obtained from displacement-rate measurements, the difference being larger the greater the
loss in the material (see Annex A). Storage and loss moduli are accurately related by simple expressions to resonance
frequencies obtained from displacement-rate curves. The use of resonance frequencies based on displacement
measurements leads to a small error which is only significant when the specimen exhibits high loss. Under these
conditions, resonance tests are not suitable.

If the loss factor does not vary markedly over the frequency range defined by ∆ f , Equation (11) holds exactly when the

resonance curve is based on the deformation-rate amplitude (see also Annex A).
4 Principle
A specimen of known geometry is subjected to mechanical oscillation, described by two characteristics: the
mode of vibration and the mode of deformation.
Four oscillatory modes, I to IV, are possible, depending on whether the mode of vibration is non-resonant,
natural (resonant) or near-resonant. These modes are described in Table 2.
