Characterization tests on elastomeric dampers

This experiment is a part of characterization tests done on elastomeric dampers. Tests include 12 sinusoidal cycles, among which 2 are ramp up cycles, 7 are full cycles and 3 are ramp down cycles. Different displacement amplitudes and different excitation frequencies were used since it is known that elastomeric dampers are sensitive to displacement amplitude and excitation frequencies. Majority of tests were done at a controlled temperature of 20C, however for tests with excitation frequency of 1Hz, there were tests with controlled temperatures of 10C and 30C. Experiment 3 is more focused on these tests with different temperatures.
