Mechanical testing was performed on epoxy resin toughened by incorporation of up to 17 vol% of PEI.1 The dynamic mechanical tests were carried out in DMTA at 10 Hz, in a single cantilever bending mode at r = -80 to 300°C. The flexural properties at 23°C were carried... 

Microcantilever deflection changes as a function of adsorbate coverage when adsorption is confined to a single side of a cantilever (or when there is differential adsorption on opposite sides of the cantilever). Since we do not know the absolute value of the initial surface stress, we can only measure its variation. A relation can be derived between cantilever bending and changes in surface stress from Stoney s formula and equations that describe cantilever bending [15]. Specifically, a relation can be derived between the radius of curvature of the cantilever beam and the differential surface stress ... 

BENDING OF A BEAM. The complex dynamic Young s modulus can be determined from the forced, non-resonant oscillations of a single or double cantilever beam. The apparatus considered in this paper is the Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyzer (DMTA) (6), manufactured by Polymer Laboratories, Inc. Figure 3 shows the experimental setup for the single cantilever measurement. A thin sample is clamped at both ends. One end is attached to a calibrated shaker through a drive shaft.

Different clamping geometries are used to accommodate particular specimens (Figure 8). Single or dual cantilever bending modes are the most common for materials which can be formed into bars. Shear measurements are used for soft, thick samples. Films and fibres are usually mounted in tension with loading arranged so that the sample is... 

TA Instruments dynamic mechanical analyzers are used over a temperature range from -150 to 600°C (-238 to 1112°F) to measure deformations for shear, tension, compression, three-point bending, and dual/single cantilever [3]. They include an optical encoder. DMA instrumentation is more sensitive than differential scanning calorimetry for measuring smaller transition regions. The company s DSC instruments measure heat... 

Modern instruments can handle many different sample types such as bars, films, fibres, coatings, pellets, rods, and cylinders. Different sample types are handled using the six measuring systems available three-point bending, parallel plate, dual cantilever, single cantilever, fibre tension, and film extension.

DMA sample geometries for solids and liquids for solids—dual cantilever, tension, single cantilever, three-point bending or flexure, compression for liquids— cone-plate flow, torsional flow the rheometers that measure liquid-state properties also measure the properties of solid samples in torsional shear (courtesy of TA Instruments).

Netzsch DMA 242 C The DMA 242 C can determine viscoelastic properties over a wide modulus range with the common types of deformation geometries three-point bending, single- and dual-cantilever bending, compression/pene-tration, shear, and tension. Netzsch also offers a series of special sample holders, such as those designed, for example, for extremely stiff composite materials and metals. A stainless-steel container is available to facilitate measurements with the sample in various media (the immersion test—option).

In section 4.4.9 experimental data changes of surface stress induced by the adsorption of gases, alkali metals, semiconductors and metals on single crystal surfaces are compiled from cantilever bending experiments.

Nikolaidis and Labuza [132] used DTMA for measuring (deformation by single cantilever clamped-bending) the Tg of crakers in order to relate crispness changes to water activity (Figure 27).
