Dynamic or oscillatory tests are performed to study the viscoelastic properties of a sample. The tests are called microscale experiments compared to macroscale tests like rotational or viscometry tests.
Viscoelastic samples have both elastic (solid) and viscous (liquid) properties, the extreme described by Hooke’s law of elasticity and Newton’s law of viscosity.

• Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) or dynamic thermomechanical analysis is a technique used to study and characterize materials.
• It is most useful for observing the viscoelastic nature of polymers. An oscillating force is applied to a sample of material and the resulting displacement of the sample is measured.
• From this the stiffness of the sample can be determined, and the sample modulus can be calculated. By measuring the time lag in the displacement compared to the applied force it is possible to determine the damping properties of the material.
