Evaluation of Nonuniformity of Elastic Properties of Sheets Made from Closed-Сell Polyolefin Foams by Acoustic Method by O. P. Bogdan, D. V. Zlobin, O. V. Murav'eva, S. M. Molin, A. V. Platunov

“…Studies of uneven elastic properties were carried out on sheets of closed-cell polyolefin foams of the ISOLON 500 and ISOLON 300 brands which differ in material and manufacturing technology (technique of cross-linking, method and multiplicity of foaming).It is shown that the absolute amplitude of the signal and its spread relative to the average value is affected by the structure of the foam polyolefin material and its heterogeneity over the area of the studied sheet determined by the production technology which is confirmed visually using microscopy.Studies have shown the effect on the indications unevenness of the method of obtaining and the apparent density of the material. …”
