Plot Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus of a Material Using MATLAB

Question

The dynamic storage modulus G’ and loss modulus G’’ are measures of a material mechanical response to harmonic loading. For many biological materials these moduli can be described by Fung’s Model:

                                              Plot Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus of a Material Using MATLAB

Where ω is the frequency of the harmonic loading and !!,c, !!, and !! are material constants.(tan-1 is atan in matlab).

a) Plot G’ and G’’ versus ω as two separate plots using the following constants:

  1.  = 5 kilo pound per square inch (ksi), c=0.05,  = 0.06 seconds, and = 500 seconds.
  2. Let ω vary from 0.0001 to 1000 second-1. Use a log scale for this axis.

b) Why do you want to use a log scale for the ω axis? Write your answer as a comment in the script. (Hint: What happens if you don’t use a log scale? Try plotting both ways.)

 

Summary

This question belongs to MATLAB software and discusses about application of MATLAB in physics to plot the storage modulus and loss modulus of a material mechanical response to harmonic loading.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
