...J. Prasad; A. R. Diaz This work presents design concepts to synthesize composite materials with special dynamic properties, namely, materials that soften at high frequencies. Such dynamic properties are achieved through the use of a two-phase material that has inclusions of a viscoelastic material...

... loaded behavior of a worm gear, with a steel worm and a nylon wheel. Plastics are viscoelastic materials and do not obey Hooke’s law. This paper describes an elaborated method that is a generalization of Kelvin’s model. The computation also uses experimental tests to obtain data relating to the plastic...
