Elastic Modulus The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain ...

Figure 4: Tangent modulus versus strain at various temperatures. In the temperature range 0–30 ∘ C, the modulus initially decreases up to 20%. strain and then increases on further straining.

The imaginary part (e.g., tensile loss modulus, E”) illustrates the viscous or out-of-phase part of the response and is given by (stress/strain)*sinδ. The ratio between loss modulus and storage ...

Tangent delta, or the loss factor, is a measure of hysteresis and is the ratio of the loss modulus to the storage modulus. Tangent delta is strongly influenced by the choice of polymer. The addition ...

Asylum Research has announced the availability of its powerful new nanomechanical imaging technique, AM-FM Viscoelastic Mapping Mode, for its entire line of Cypher™ and MFP-3D™ atomic force ...
