Objective
In view of the general need to improve the noise and vibration control of all kinds of equipment and machines in daily life, there is a requirement from industry for a more accurate/comparable Dynamic Mechanical and Thermal Analysis (DMTA) of plastics, rubbers and composites. To meet this requirement, a set of new standards for DMTA methods is currently being established. However, the important question of how to assess the accuracy, reliability and equivalence of the various methods has not yet been addressed in the standards. There is, consequently, an important need for suitable calibration techniques and devices.
The aim of this project is to:
design and validate a new/easily duplicable calibration set-up for DMTA methods providing the required accuracy/reliability/simplicity of operation when used with the various kinds of DMTA test systems;
transfer the results to the CEN/TC 249/SC1/NG3 and ISO TC 61/SC2 working groups in order to support the development of the standards series ISO 6721 with respect to the precision of DMTA methods and the calibration of DMTA equipment;
incite DMTA equipment manufacturers to introduce the new calibration methods in their own product environment and to make suitable calibration devices commercially available in Europe.
The project is about to start.
