Abstract (EN):
The numerical simulation of sandwich plates with cork compound cores requires an accurate
numerical representation of its dynamic properties, namely its storage modulus and loss factor
which are frequency dependent. In this paper, an accurate experimental setup and
methodology to identify the complex modulus of cork compounds in shear are presented and
validated using commercially available cork compounds. The test system is based on the
direct complex stiffness measurement. A numerical processing analysis is performed on the
measured data in order to verify the validity of the measurement and to identify the frequency
dependent storage modulus and loss factor.
