DMTA EXME-D-17-00051

The dataset is associated to the article untitled 'A novel image-based ultrasonic test to map material mechanical properties at high strain rates'. This work presents an innovative identification strategy based on high power ultrasonic loading together with both infrared thermography and ultra-high speed imaging. It was shown to be able to characterize the viscoelastic behaviour of a polymer specimen (PMMA) from a single sample over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. The main originality lies in the fact that contrary to conventional DMT Analysis, no frequency or temperature sweep is required since the experiment is designed to simultaneously produce both a heterogeneous strain-rate state and a heterogeneous temperature state allowing a local and multi-parametric identification.
