Experimental Evaluation of the Hysteretic Damping of Elastomeric Systems at Low-Cyclic Harmonic Kinematic Displacements

Abstract:

The paper presents the experimental results regarding the hysteretic behavior of elastomeric systems made in conformity with the European Standards SR EN 1337-3 and SR EN 15129. It is also mentioned that the hysteretic damping was determined by experimentally raising the hysteresis loop in a low-cycle harmonic regime, with a kinematic exterior excitation defined by a harmonic displacement law. In this context, it is mentioned that the area of the hysteretic loops was determined instrumentally (in analogical representation of the signals) as well as under digital form, through a sampling of the physical signal, which allows a high precision of the determination.
