The influence of viscoelastic properties of an optically sensitive epoxy material on the propagation of pressure waves in a rod was carried out. In the article of determination of the visco-elastic operator, the theoretical relations for the case of propagation of longitudinal waves are obtained based on the results of a photoelastic experiment. The noticeable difference between the experimental data and the calculation at the pulse end can be explained by the change in the propagation velocity of the Fourier decomposition component of the real impulse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
