This module is used to determine the strain, temperature and frequency dependence of the viscoelastic storage and loss modulus for use in thermal-mechanical analysis with temperature effects and energy dissipation, or self-heating considerations. The K/WLF module is named for Kraus and for Williams-Landel-and-Ferry, two representations used to describe viscoelastic DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) measurements. Supports thermal-mechanical workflows for product temperature and energy dissipation analysis. Experiment Overview:

• low Strain Frequency Sweeps at 3 temperatures
• low Strain Temperature Sweep
• strain Sweep – initial and repeat – at specified temperature and frequency
• optional thermal conductivity, specific heat and density
• three replicates of each test
• number of slabs needed for test: 4
