Take Control of the Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Your Products

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA/DMTA) is an indispensable tool for determining the mechanical properties of engineering materials, particularly the viscoelastic behavior that characterizes polymers.

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA/DMTA) is an essential tool for determining the mechanical properties of engineering materials, particularly the viscoelastic behavior that characterizes polymers. By applying forces and deformations under dynamic conditions, changes in the viscoelastic behavior of a material can be measured as a function of temperature, time, frequency, StressStress is defined as a level of force applied on a sample with a well-defined cross section. (Stress = force/area). Samples having a circular or rectangular cross section can be compressed or stretched. Elastic materials like rubber can be stretched up to 5 to 10 times their original length.stress, atmosphere, or a combination of these parameters.

How Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Can Help You Fulfill Your Product Promise

Polymers are a crucial material in manufacturing due to their lightweight and moldable properties, making them versatile for a variety of applications. In industries such as automotive, electronics, and medical, it is essential for plastic parts to perform as designed. To ensure optimal performance, it's necessary to understand the material behavior from the molecular level to real-world mechanical properties.

Prediction of mechanical behavior – essential for the design of new products

That's where Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) comes in as a highly sensitive analysis method for evaluating material properties during design and production. DMA can determine a wide range of mechanical properties, including stiffness, elasticity, damping, and viscoelastic behavior. With DMA, you can predict mechanical behavior, which is essential for designing new products and ensuring they meet industry standards. So if you work with polymers, DMA is a valuable tool for optimizing product performance and fulfilling your product promise.
