DMA, TMA, creep, stress relaxation, fatigue, crack growth, calorimetry modes on a single instrument
Tension/compression/bending/shear
Analysis of specimens with material-representative size
Advanced algorithm for precise test control
Broad selection of specimen holders for multiple geometries and dimensions
Optical specimen observation system (option)
Easily upgradeable to meet specific analytical requirements
Atmosphere control (option)
Humidity control (option)
Optimised working ergonomics

Reduced footprint
APPLICATIONS
The DMA+ series instruments offer a broad range of applications, among which:
DMA and TMA testing
Precise measurement of viscoelastic properties
Determination of glass and secondary transitions
Static and quasi static testing: creep, stress relaxation, tension, compression…
Fatigue testing on material and industrial component specimens (with controlled waveform)
Crack growth testing
Analysis of solid, pasty and liquid materials: elastomers, plastics, composites, biomaterials, etc.
Particularly well suited to polymer and composite characterization (polymerised materials, follow-up of polymerisation process, simultaneous DMA/calorimetry, fatigue)
Particularly well suited to elastomer testing and characterization (Mullins effect, Payne effect, frequency sweep, self heating, crack growth testing, etc.)
Materials humidity dependence analysis
Comparison and classification of complex materials for design engineering
