Opportunity to learn about viscoelastic theories and models – 20 Mar 2023

Mar 20, 2023

A new virtual course starts with a very brief introduction to viscoelastic theories and models but then shifts to the explanation of the viscoelastic properties of elastomers and how those properties can be measured. Students will learn about how tire performance can be predicted using dynamic mechanical analysis and how these testing methods can be applied to other non-tire applications as well. This course will also discuss how compounding ingredients such as the polymer, fillers, plasticizers, and cure systems, can each affect the viscoelastic properties of a rubber compound.
