Book Description

Publication Date: December 14, 1997 | ISBN-10: 0849386888 | ISBN-13: 978-0849386886 | Edition: 1

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis serves as a systemic study of manufacturing polymeric materials and components as well as for developing new materials. This introduction provides the chemist, chemical engineer, or materials scientist with a starting point to understand the applications of dynamic mechanical analysis, its workings, and its advantages and limitations.
Discussions include:
- rheological concepts
- stress-strain
- data handling
- experimental techniques and considerations
- test methods, such as frequency sweeps and time-temperature curves
- data analysis.

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm hoping for an expanded second edition...., November 18, 1999

Joel D. Gruhn "joelgn" (Barrington, RI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis: A Practical Introduction (Hardcover)

I ordered this book based on the other review here onamazon.com and was looking for a bit more. A fair bit of the contentis already covered by free application notes on the web and sales literature that the makers of DMA instrumentation pass out for free. If your looking for a solid treatment of the polymer physics of DMA testing, that's not this book; maybe it hasn't been written yet. If you just want to relate DMA testing to real world environments and effects, then there aren't enough good examples in the book or a method to make this book worth the price.

This would make an acceptable guide for a technician who was just introduced to a DMA - I was looking for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to DMA, November 8, 2007

Juan Luis Marte Diaz - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis: A Practical Introduction (Hardcover)

Is a nice, good for begginers, book for those just entering the world of DMA. Helps you understand the basic concepts, and walks you through practical understanding of thermodyanmic studies of polimers.

4.0 out of 5 stars It may help yr experiment, July 3, 2006

Edmundo C. Ortiz (SJCampos, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis: A Practical Introduction (Hardcover)

The clear text will guide my experiment in composites.

The DMA technique may be helpful on several materials dynamic-mechanical characterization and this book introduces the why and how to.

Good investment to my thesis!
