ASTM D 5026 - 06 Standard Test Method for Plastics: Dynamic Mechanical Properties: In Tension

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2006. Published September 2006. Originally
approved in 1989. Last previous edition approved in 2001 as D 5026 - 01. This test method outlines the use of dynamic mechanical
instrumentation for gathering and reporting the viscoelastic properties of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins and composite
systems in the form of rectangular specimens molded directly or cut from sheets, plates, or molded shapes. The tensile data generated may be used to identify the thermomechanical properties of a plastic material or composition using a variety of dynamic mechanical instruments.
