Abstract
This work shows that the complex dynamic viscosity η* (ω) can be evaluated from experimental data of free damped oscillations (FDO) when upper and lower angular displacements measured in a plate-plate geometry are analyzed by Fourier series. We deduce the equation required to evaluate experimentally the dynamic functions of linear viscoelastic materials in FDO. Two loss tangents can be defined in FDO, which are not necessarily equal to tan δ(ω) of the forced oscillation test.
