equipment development. The author also wishes to acknowledge Mr. Bill Crockford
from ShedWorks for his help in writing the section of Analysis of Cyclic Sinusoidal Test
Data. In addition, the author wishes to acknowledge professor Matthew W. Witczak
from Arizona State University for his help and advice in the course of dynamic modulus
testing development.

Endnote

1. According to Di Benedetto and de la Roche (1998), the word dynamic should be
used in the tests with nonnegligible inertia effects inside the sample (i.e., when wave
propagation is observed). Then, a complex modulus test is not a dynamic test but a
cyclic test with repeated loading and is therefore interpreted as a static test. However,
the author is using the word dynamic as it is traditionally used in literature in the
United States.
