Synonyms

DMA

Definitions

Technique used to study and characterize materials. It is most useful for studying the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. A sinusoidal stress is applied and the strain in the material is measured, allowing one to determine the complex modulus. The temperature of the sample or the frequency of the stress are often varied, leading to variations in the complex modulus. Each test provides a stress-strain curve as output, which describes the relationship between the applied stress and the shown strain for a particular material.
