TitleDynamic Response of Two viscoelastic Dampers
AuthorsBlondet, M.
PublicationReport No. UCB/SEMM-94-01, Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, July 1993.
ObjectivesApply dynamic loading two viscoealstic dampers to verify the mechanical properties of the material. Determine the ultimate shear behavior of five smaller test specimens.
