DMA - Flexural (0.1-100 Hz)
Test ID
M-602
Description
The test specimen is subjected to three point bending over a range of frequencies at constant strain, and the force transmitted through the specimen is measured. This is used to calculate the E¹ and E² curves, as well as Tan delta, the ratio of the two moduli.
Options
Tests can be conducted using the same specimen over a range of temperatures to obtan a family of curves. Time-temperature superposition and other transformations can then be performed if desired.
Standards
- ASTM D5023
Data
Flexural Modulus v. Frequency, Tan Delta v. Frequency. This data appears in Matereality as Dynamic Mechanical Properties in Flexure.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 1
Samples
2 flex bars [details]
Application
Data gathered from this test are valuable for quality control, research and development. Moduli and Tan delta versus temperature plots provide graphical depictions representative of functional properties, effectiveness of cure, and damping behavior under specified conditions.
