Abstract:In this paper, a new experimental setup and experimental procedures differing from the studying PVDF films by beam cantilever and Hopkinson bar are reported, by which the electromechanical characterization of the PVDF films under quasi static loads and dynamic loads in a wide frequency range can be researched. This experimental setup consists of three parts: a shaker to provide load and strain, the response of PVDF films and dynamic force measurement devices and a test stand, which can provide dynamic load rapidly and realize the synchronous measurement of force, strain and the response of PVDF films.Finally,a dynamic load test was implemented on PVDF films, and stable curves of PVDF, strain and loading force were obtained, confirmed the reliability of this experimental setup.
