There has been a marked increase in the interest shown in the field of characterization of polymeric materials via dynamic techniques, so much so that symposia devoted exclusively to “dynamic” properties of materials are now commonplace (1, 2). This article provides both a frame of reference with regard to the wide variety of “dynamic” test techniques now in use, and…as well…dynamic test data for a wide range of polymers. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the difference in function of varying test techniques and the applicability of data obtained for specific R & D vs engineering applications. For the purposes of the presentation an arbitrary distinction will be made between “dynamic” tests of the cyclic type and “dynamic” tests of the unidirectional type.
