Provides a systematic
introduction to DMA that begins
with the basics of mechanical
analysis, including stress-stain
and creep-recovery tests Updates coverage with expanded practical explanations, extensive end-of-chapter references, and?new
applications Discusses major types of instrumentation, including oscillatory rotational, oscillatory axial, and torsional pendulum? Describes analytical techniques in terms of utility, quality of data, methods of calibration, and suitability
for different types of materials? Assesses applications for thermoplastics, thermosetting systems, and thermosets Discusses applications of humidity, immersion, and UV in DMA testing as well as non-standard samples like pharmaceuticals and powders
Dynamical mechanical analysis(DMA) or spectroscopy has left the domain of the rheologist and has become a prevalent tool in the analytical laboratory. However, information on the use of this important tool is still scattered among a range of books and articles. Novices in the field have to dig through thermal analysis, rheology, and materials texts just to find the basics.
Updated with new material, expanded practical explanations, and new applications, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Second Edition continues to give chemists, engineers, and materials scientists a starting point for applying DMA to their individual fields. It imparts a clear understanding of how DMA works, its advantages, and possible limitations. Additional topics include stress/strain, data handling, experimental technology, test methods, and data analysis.
One of the only references dedicated to DMA, this accessible and easy-to-read guide gathers the most pertinent information available on this important technique.
