Dynamic mechanical analysis theory

It is well known that the elementary theory of beams described above becomes inadequate for beams with transverse dimensions of the same order of magnitude as their length. This section deals with the theory to be applied to thick non-slender beams. This theory appears to be relevant in the context of dynamic mechanical analysis. The first fact to be considered is that when the beam is flexed it experiences a shear stress that provokes a relative sliding of the adjacent transverse sections. As a consequence, the larger the transverse section, the higher is this shear strain. The final effect is an increase in the total deflection of the beam (Fig. 17.5). 

The mechanical behavior of the hydrogels can be described by the theories of rubber elasticity and viscoelasticity, which are based on time-independent and time-dependent recovery of the chain orientation and structure, respectively. Mechanical properties due to rubber elastic behavior of hydrogels can be determined by tensile measurements, while the viscoelastic behavior can be determined through dynamic mechanical analysis. 

Many processes in pharmaceutics are related to transport, and the appHcations of the outlined theory are therefore numerous. Notwithstanding their practical importance, the special instances of the general transport equation (11) listed in Table 2 are assumed to be relatively familiar, and will therefore not be discussed further in this chapter. Instead, we focus our attention on applications of hereditary integrals and linear response theory, in particular on dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and impedance spectroscopy. 

The dynamic mechanical properties of polymers are measured using various types of apparatus, as discussed in Chapter 2. By dynamic mechanical analysis, not only main chain motion but also the secondary relaxation can be detected. The mathematical structure of theories of dynamic viscoelastic properties has been presented [81,821 and application to polymers has been described [83]. 

Creep obeys viscoelastic theory at small strains and it is possible to apply predictive methods using data from dynamic mechanical analysis to obtain creep data. Here, remarkable amounts of data can be obtained from... 

The theory of dynamic chemical analysis has been understood for many years. However, because of the complexity of measurement mechanics and the mathematics required to translate theory into application, dynamic chemical analysis did not become a practical tool until the late 1970s, when DuPont developed a device for reproducibly subjecting a sample to appropriate mechanical and environmental conditions. The addition of computer hardware and software capabilities several years later made dynamic mechanical analysis a viable tool for industrial scientists because it greatly reduced the analysis times and labor intensity of the technique. 

Reaction with a polymerizable mixture, giving nanofibers covalently attached to the polymer, has also been studied [155]. Different techniques, including dynamic mechanical analysis and positron annihilation spectroscopy show that interaction at the nanofiber-polymer interface produces radical changes in the glass transition of the material. The effect of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals on the properties of a polyurethane matrix are theoretically described by the free volume theory. 

The theory behind the experimental determination of the dynamic mechanical properties of solids has much in common with that of the dynamic mechanical analysis of melts. Samples in the form of strips, beams, fibers, or rods may be used. Such specimens may be subjected to oscillatory deformation in the form of tension, torsion, and—if they are sufficiently thick—fiexion and compression. 

Similar information can be obtained from analysis by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (dmta). Dmta measures the deformation of a material in response to vibrational forces. The dynamic modulus, the loss modulus, and a mechanical damping are deterrnined from such measurements. Detailed information on the theory of dmta is given (128).

This chapter concerns the energetics of charge-transfer (CT) reactions. We will not discuss subjects dealing with nuclear dynamical effects on CT kinetics. " The more specialized topic of employing the liquid-state theories to calculate the solvation component of the reorganization parameters is not considered here. We concentrate instead on the general procedure of the statistical mechanical analysis of the activation barrier to CT, as well as on its connection to optical spectroscopy. Since the very beginning of ET research, steady-state optical spectroscopy has been the major source of reliable information about the activation barrier and preexponential factor for the ET rate. The main focus in this chapter is therefore on the connection between the statistical analysis of the reaction activation barrier to the steady-state optical band shape. 

Oscillatory rheometry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, both termed dynamic oscillatory methods, allow for the convenient, accurate, and rapid quantification of the viscoelastic properties of pharmaceutical and biomedical systems. In light of this, considerations of the theory, practice, and applications of these methods will form the basis of this chapter.

Dynamic mechanical characteristics, mostly in the form of the temperature response of shear or Young s modulus and mechanical loss, have been used with considerable success for the analysis of multiphase polymer systems. In many cases, however, the results were evaluated rather qualitatively. One purpose of this report is to demonstrate that it is possible to get quantitative information on phase volumes and phase structure by using existing theories of elastic moduli of composite materials. Furthermore, some special anomalies of the dynamic mechanical behavior of two-phase systems having a rubbery phase dispersed within a rigid matrix are discussed these anomalies arise from the energy distribution and from mechanical interactions between the phases.

Two techniques, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and dielectric thermal analysis (DETA), have been used for the study of resin cure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has also been employed (for a discussion of the theory and instrumentation of DSC, see Chapter 9). The application of differential photocalorimetry to the measurement of cure rates of photocurable resins is discussed in Chapter 12.

The theory relevant for the study of mechanical properties of such objects is taken from solid mechanics. This theory is based on, among other things, fundamental mechanics, and it contains theoretical analyses of dynamic properties of various kinds of objects bars, plates and other geometric configurations with plastic or elastic properties. Within this theory we have massive knowledge about, say, stress-strain relations of various idealized objects. This knowledge is presented in a mathematical form and is about model objects which are idealized to such a degree that a mathematical analysis is feasible. The research object is represented by such a model object.
