Development of Electronics,Mechanical Fixtures and Computer Software for Automation of Dynamic Mechanical Measurements on Polymer Solids and Computer Reduction of Data.

摘要

The objective of this work is to automate data taking and data reduction on a Rheovibron Dynamic Viscoelastometer. A computer program with the necessary hardware has been developed to control tension on the sample, to monitor power to heaters, to control a temperature scan, and to acquire data on polymeric solids from which temperature dependence of a dynamic modulus and tangent of the loss angle (tan delta) can be calculated.
