Reliable Evaluation of Damping Materials and Composites

Carrousel - Autoneum Holding AG

Carrousel measures the dynamic vibration properties of coated or non-coated materials. The method is based on the classic "Oberst" procedure where Autoneum has improved both the measurement procedure itself and the mathematical model used to evaluate the results. The Carrousel software automatically calculates the damping loss factor at various conditions and temperatures as well as controlling both the Carrousel apparatus and the all-important temperature when measuring in a temperature chamber.
