DMA Fundamentals: Introduction to Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

This webinar provides a structured introduction to Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and the fundamental principles of viscoelastic material behavior. Participants will gain an understanding of how DMA works, including the relationship between applied force, resulting deformation, and phase shift.

The session also introduces common instrument designs, sample holders, and measurement modes, providing a solid foundation for selecting suitable test setups and understanding measurement results. It also offers an outlook on the advanced topics and application areas covered in the following webinars of the series.
