Summary

This paper describes the coupling of a minicomputer with two rotational rheometers. In the first instance, the computer acquires output data from aWeissenberg Rheogoniometer in oscillatory shear, andFourier-analyzes stress and strain signals. The second instance utilizes a rotational rheometer specifically designed to be controlled by the computer, employing a servo-driven torque motor. The computer-rheometer system is used to analyze steady-state non-Newtonian viscosity and linear viscoelasticity, as well as non-linear dynamic behavior.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Kopplung eines Minicomputers mit zwei Rotationsrheometern. Im ersten Fall erhält der Computer die Daten von einem oszillierendenWeissenberg-Rheogoniometer und macht eineFourier-Analyse der Spannungs- und Schergefällsignale. Im zweiten Fall benützt er ein speziell entworfenes Rotationsrheometer, welches vom Computer kontrolliert wird und einem Torsionsmotor mit Servomechanismus. Das Computer-Rheometer-System wird dazu verwendet, sowohl zeitunabhängige nichtNewtonsche Viskosität und lineare Viskoelastizität als auch nichtlineares dynamisches Verhalten zu analysieren.
