ABSTRACT
Instead of conducting experiments at every frequency of interest, a frequency sweep can be run over a limited range, at several temperatures. The measurement results are used to construct a master curve by shifting the frequency sweeps horizontally, characterising the material up to very high frequencies. With this data, the response of a component can be studied with simulations prior to manufacturing prototypes. Simulations early in the development process has the possibility to reduce both the cost and development time of new components. However, simulations are only as accurate as the material models employed.
