New technique for measuring the dynamic Young's modulus between 295 and 6 K 

 -  Cryogenics, 31(10), p.884-889, 1991 .
<br/><br/> A transducer system based on strain gauge technology was developed and applied to bar type specimens to determine the dynamic Young's modulus. The system was installed in a continuous flow cryostat working in the temperature range 295-6 K. The adapted technique is the remote mechanical excitation of the bar as a cantilever beam and the on-line determination of the fundamental free vibration frequency using a commercially available electronic instrument. This simple and economic method is able to measure the material's dynamic Young's modulus, E, and shear modulus, G, with a high degree of accuracy (error < 4-2.0
