Alternative dynamic torsion test to evaluate the elastic modulus of polymers

This work presents an alternative for the determination of the torsion modulus, G, of polymers. These materials may be subjected to shear stresses in some structural applications; thereby, the knowledge of G is of great interest. For this purpose, a mechanical system featuring a simplified torsion p...
