Although it has been said that dynamic load factor is equal to 2, it became evident by the author's researches that this value is influenced by the dimensions of members and loading conditions and is very different from 2. However, the solid viscosities are neglected in all these researches. Previously, the author obtained the coefficients of viscosities from the experimental results of damped oscillation of a cantilever beam in a vacuum vessel and investigated the relationships between dynamic load factors and solid viscosities on the beam and the rod subjected to transverse or longitudinal impulsive loads. From these results, it was found that the effects of solid viscosities to dynamic load factors cannot be neglected.
To find out whether the same fact can be obtained for the higher dimensions or not, the ring and the hollow sphere subjected to uniformly distributed impulsive loads along the inner and outer edges are analysed. Since σθ, the direct stress to the circumferential direction, is the most important from the engineering point of view, the relationships between solid viscosities and dynamic load factors of σθ are investigated.
