Fourier-transform Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis - a new tool for the analysis of the thermo-rhelogical behavior of polymers and polymer sandwich composites

Paper in proceeding, 2015

A Fourier transform approach to dynamic mechanical thermal analysis is here outlined. The method uses raw instrument data acquisition, data oversampling and subsequent post-processing to evidence nonlinearities in the input/output signals. First results on polymers during time and polymer composite sandwiches during temperature sweep measurements are presented.
