The behavior of a one-dimensional mass-rubber band oscillator is investigated experimentally. The data show clear evidence for viscoelastic behavior and can be interpreted in terms of a simple oscillator model consisting of a mass connected to a four parameter viscoelastic element. The model displays the observed crossover in the dynamic response. The success and limitations of the model and the pedagogical relevance of the experiment are discussed.

Abstract
The behavior of a one-dimensional mass-rubber band oscillator is investigated experimentally. The data show clear evidence for viscoelastic behavior and can be interpreted in terms of a simple oscillator model consisting of a mass connected to a four parameter viscoelastic element. The model displays the observed crossover in the dynamic response. The success and limitations of the model and the pedagogical relevance of the experiment are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
