DMA Measurements
DMA is a highly sensitive method for measuring how various physical properties, such as storage and loss modulus, change with temperature. Using a DMA, it is possible to perform tensile, compression, shear, 3-point bend, dual and single cantilever type tests. Even thin films and fibers can be tested.
Typical Experimental Results:
Time-Temperature Superposition Testing of PET Tape
1 Hz Frequency Test on Polycarbonate
Applications:
| 3-Point Bend | Complex Modulus | Complex/Dynamic Viscosity |
| Compression | Controlled Force/Strain Rate | Creep Compliance |
| Equilibrium Recoverable Compliance | Film Analysis | Frequency Effect |
| Glass Transition | Isostrain | Loss Modulus |
| Multi-Frequency | Multi-Stress/Strain | Relaxation Modulus |
| Sample Stiffness | Secondary Transitions | Shear Sandwich |
| Static/Dynamic Force | Storage Modulus | Storage/Loss Compliance |
| Stress Relaxation | Stress/Strain Behavior | Submersible Clamps |
| Tan Delta | Tension | Viscoelastic Characterization |
