A method of measuring the dynamic torsion and Young's moduli of a thin film of adhesive is described. The accuracy of the technique and its suitability for structural adhesives is discussed. Values of modulus obtained using this method are compared with values obtained from static and dynamic tests on bulk specimens of three epoxy adhesives.
