Dynamic Mechanical Analysis: A Practical Introduction, 2nd Edition

0.0

Once a tool reserved for specialists, dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA) or spectroscopy has left the domain of the rhelogist to 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.Updated with new material, expanded practical explanations, and new applications, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Second Edition• Provides a systematic introduction to DMA that begins with the basics of mechanical analysis, including stress-strain 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 torsion pendulum• Assesses applications for thermoplastics, thermosetting systems, and thermosets• Discusses applications of humidity, immersion, and UV. In DMA testing as well as nonstandard samples like pharmaceuticals and powders Subjects of the book : Chemistry Material Sciences Mechanical Engineering Contents of the book : An Introduction to Dynamic Mechanical Analysis.
