TA Instruments DMA 3200
Description
The DMA 3200 brings together dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing capabilities in a single high-force, highly versatile machine. This machine can handle not only complex DMA/TTS (time-temperature superpositioning) analysis, but also axial fatigue capabilities across a wide range of materials and temperatures.Operating Range

Application
The DMA 3200’s DMA functions can be used to analyze master curves through advanced TTS, peak analysis, onset analysis, and relaxation spectrum for various solid materials ranging from foams to composites. DMA master curves can be used to determine a material's behavior (stiffness, damping, etc.) over a wide range of frequencies and times scales.Due to the larger load capacity of the DMA 3200, it can be used for conducting fatigue tests on material at various temperatures, modes, and frequencies. The evaluation of the fatigue life of material is crucial when designing products that experience repeated loading.
