4 Characteristics of Real High-Force DMA and Why They Matter

4 Characteristics of Real High-Force DMA and Why They Matter

Aerospace, Military, & Defense, Blog Applications, Blog Techniques, Composites, Engineered Materials, Mechanical Testing, Polymers

While many instruments can measure DMA type properties (phase, tan delta, etc), many are not performing ‘real’ DMA experiments. On the surface, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis seems straightforward: apply periodic stress/strain and measure the sample’s mechanical response including the phase relationship, revealing characteristics like stiffness (storage modulus) and damping (loss modulus).
