ASTM D 5024 - 07 Standard Test Method for Plastics: Dynamic Mechanical Properties: In Compression

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved March 15, 2007. Published April 2007. Originally
approved in 1989. Last previous edition approved in 2001 as D 5024 - 01. This test method outlines the use of dynamic mechanical
instrumentation for determining and reporting the viscoelastic properties of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins as well as
composite systems in the form of cylindrical specimens molded directly or cut from sheets, plates, or molded shapes.
The compression data generated may be used to identify the thermomechanical properties of a plastics material or composition
using a variety of dynamic mechanical instruments.
