Viscoelasticity is the property of a material that exhibits some combination of both elastic or spring-like and viscous or flow-like behavior. Dynamic mechanical analysis is carried out by applying a sinusoidally varying force to a test specimen and measuring the resulting strain response. By analyzing the material response over one cycle, its elastic-spring-like …
In the dynamic mechanical analysis, we look at the stress (σ), which is the force per cross-sectional unit area, needed to cause an extension in the sample, or the strain (ε). E =σ ε (4.9.1) (4.9.1) E = σ ε. Alternatively, in a shear experiment: G =σ ε (4.9.2) (4.9.2) G = σ ε. The dynamic mechanical analysis differs from simple ...

A mechanical model for an oscillatory measurement is illustrated in Fig. 1: The lower plate is static whereas the upper plate moves back and forth driven by a wheel with an eccentrically mounted push rod. At 90° and 270° deflection the upper plate reaches its maximum amplitude. The torque required to move the upper plate divided by the area ...

Frequency sweeps generally serve the purpose of describing the time-dependent behavior of a sample in the non-destructive deformation range. High frequencies are used to simulate fast motion on short timescales, whereas low frequencies simulate slow motion on long timescales or at rest. In practice, frequency sweeps are proven methods for ...
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology can be used to measure the elastic modulus of tiny hydrogels. One example is force-feedback MEMS micro-grippers. These grippers could compress micrometer-sized alginate gel beads of 15–25 μm in diameter and thus measure the Young''s modulus of the gel spheres [ 73 ].
Pitch bearings in wind turbines are crucial components that enable safe blade pitching, optimize electrical power output, and ensure turbine protection. Traditional vibration analysis-based methods used for high-speed bearings are not applicable to monitoring pitch bearings, due to its slow non-integer cycle rotation. To address this …

2. Rheological Methods. The mechanical behavior of polymer melts is rather complex because they are viscoelastic materials, and, consequently, their properties are time-dependent. Furthermore, most polymers exhibit a distinct nonlinear behavior, which is particularly pronounced at the conditions of processing.
If one can generate a modulus scan over a wide enough frequency range (Fig. 18), the plot of storage modulus versus frequency appears like the reverse of a temperature scan. The same time–temperature equivalence discussed above also applies to modulus, as well as compliance, tan delta, and other properties.
To measure the rheological properties of a material, rheometers are used. They measure the torque and the deflection angle of the measuring bob. This means that in a viscosity measurement the rheometer presets a certain current that correlates to a defined torque. The sample provides resistance or a reset torque to the setting and the resulting ...

Young''s Modulus or Storage Modulus. Young''s modulus, or storage modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material.

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is used to study these responses, called viscoelastic properties, under conditions of low applied mechanical force. Polymer viscoelasticity is dependent on temperature and time. Controlled heating and cooling are incorporated in DMA instruments to study temperature effects on polymer stiffness and resiliency.
