Designing a New Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) System for Testing Viscoelastic Materials at High Frequencies
Table 3
The maximum temperature increase in the rubber specimen due to the heat build-up during the test.
| DMA test device | Frequency (Hz) | Strain (%) | Specimen dimension (mm3) | Maximum temperature increase (°C) |
| Conventional | 1 | 30 | 5 × 16 × 40 | 18.9 |
| New test setup | 1000 | 0.25 | 2 × 6 × 6 | 3.8 | 5000 | 0.08 | 1.9 | 10000 | 0.05 | 1.5 |
