Table 4.

Listing of the dynamic mechanical analysis experiment types.

Test type Test subtype Target parameters Temperature range [°C] Frequency range [rad/s]
Temperature equilibration with oscillation Fixed amplitude, frequency and temperature Equilibration times (thermal and viscous) 75, −10 6.28
Strain sweep Fixed temperature and frequency Amplitude ranges 25, −10, −60 6.28
Frequency and temperature sweep TTS data collection Complete sweep 60 to −35 0.3 to 30

These include a typical set of calibration experiments to establish protocol settings and range for the frequency and temperature sweep series used to build a final time-temperature superposition (TTS) curve. Temperature and frequency specifications are given as nominal values.
