A dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) measures the mechanical properties of materials as a function of time, temperature, and frequency. By applying force to the material in a dynamic oscillating enviro...
TMA analyses can hereby provide valuable insight into the composition, structure, production conditions or application possibilities for various materials. The application range of instruments for thermomechanical analysis extends from quality control to research and development. TMA determines dimensional changes of solids materials as a function of temperature and/or time under a defined mechanical force.It is closely related to dilatometer.
