Abstract
The energy absorption of a polymer particle due to the dynamic load of SH-wave is discussed based on the linear theory of elastodynamics. It is shown that the ability of the energy absorption in the range of the practical use is governed by the deformation mode of the particle, when the frequency of the incident wave is lower. It is shown that the first mode of the circumferential deformation is the best for absorbing energy in the particle. The present and previous papers completes the discussion on the energy absorption in a polymer particle for the three types of the dynamic loading.
