Abstract This paper presents a new method for dynamically characterizing viscoelastics materials. A multi-degree of freedom vibration model is employed to extract frequency-dependent storage moduli and loss factors from experimental frequency-response functions of the elastomer specimen. The frequency range over which reliable data are available spans from 300 to 6,000 Hz. Hundreds of estimates can be obtained from a single test, Compared with conventional methods, it exhibits the remarkable advantages of covering a wider frequency range, of being more testwise efficient, and of providing more estimates within the frequency range of interest.
