Abstract
The dynamic complex shear moduli of fibre and steel reinforced viscoelastic flexible pipes are determined by using a torsional non-resonance method. Material property master curves as a function of frequency and temperature are obtained by using reduced modulus methods. In situations where the loss factor data is difficult to measure directly it is shown that these data can be obtained from the modulus data by using a stepwise Hilbert transform technique. Predictions of the torsional vibration transmissibility of reinforced pipes, by using a simple theory in conjunction with the material properties, results in a close comparison with experimental measurements of the torsional vibration transmissibility characteristics of the pipes over a wide frequency range. © 1988 Academic Press Limited.
