A description is given of an apparatus with the aid of which the modulus of dynamic elasticity of fibers can be determined at about 1000 cycles/sec. as a function of the strain. In principle the dynamic elasticity constant of the fiber is determined by measuring the resonance frequency of a cantilever spring which is loaded with the fiber.
The results of measurements on various types of natural, regenerated, and synthetic fibers are given.
