4. Closure (defines the level of preload).

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the effective thickness-direction gasket loss and
storage moduli as functions of frequency and preload.

Data lines to define effective thickness-direction gasket properties if PRELOAD=UNIAXIAL
is not included:

First line:

1. Real part of

.

, where

represents the complex effective thickness

direction dynamic stiffness.

2. Imaginary part of

.

, where

represents the complex effective

thickness direction dynamic stiffness.

3. Frequency, f, in cycles per time.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the normalized effective thickness-direction gasket
loss and storage moduli as functions of frequency.
