The Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) is a widely used thermomechanical analysis instrument for characterizing the viscoelastic properties of materials such as polymers, composites, elastomers, and some metals. This method, preferred in approximately 60% of polymer analyses, offers high precision in determining the glass transition temperature (Tg), elasticity, and damping characteristics. In Türkiye, it is actively employed at centers such as EGEMATAL at Ege University, ARUM at Eskişehir Osmang

Tensile test is one of the fundamental and most widely used experimental methods for quantitatively determining the mechanical behavior of engineering materials. This test involves subjecting a specimen to uniaxial tensile force, allowing detailed information to be obtained about the material’s elastic and plastic deformation limits, ductility, fracture behavior, and strength. This information is critical in numerous engineering applications including material selection, product design, quality

Stress-Strain Curve is one of the fundamental graphical tools used to characterize the mechanical behavior of a material. This curve defines the relationship between the applied external force (stress) and the resulting deformation (strain). In materials science and engineering, it holds central importance in evaluating elastic, plastic, and fracture behaviors.Purpose of UseStress-strain curves enable the determination of parameters such as the elastic limit, melting point, fracture strain, duct
