Discover Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is more than just a measurement technique…it’s an opportunity to rethink how we approach materials and structures.

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of materials. The data from the process is used to ensure mechanical performance under stress and qualify materials for demanding environments. Testing on a DMA instrument enables faster materials screening and reduces the risk of product failure.

DMA’s scope of application is limitless and can be adapted to a wide variety of sectors – everything from transport and energy to medical.

Alpha Technologies Material Testing Services has been designing and marketing DMA instruments for over 50 years and in this white paper, we take you deep into dynamic mechanical analysis, providing unparalleled insights into its applications, benefits, and potential.

About the Metravib DMA+

The DMA+ series instruments are dynamic testing machines based on a innovative concept of one-piece high rigidity test frame. They are dedicated to the accurate analysis of the viscoelastic properties of most advanced materials..

  • Determination of glass and secondary transitions
  • Precise measurement of viscoelastic properties
  • Particularly well suited to polymer and composite characterization (polymerized materials, follow-up of polymerization process, simultaneous DMA/calorimetry, fatigue)
