C-Therm Technologies is hosting a free webinar on faster testing with Metravib’s high frequency analyzer

Fredericton, NB – Understanding how materials respond under very high frequency conditions is crucial for industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and consumer products. Traditional Dynamic Mechanical Analyzers (DMAs) often operate at lower frequencies, necessitating data extrapolation to estimate high-frequency properties—a process that can introduce uncertainty.

Metravib’s Very High Frequency Analyzer (VHF104) addresses this challenge by enabling direct measurement of viscoelastic properties from 100 Hz to 10 kHz, enhancing both the accuracy and efficiency of material characterization.

Why It Matters: Direct high-frequency measurements from 100 Hz to 10 kHz eliminate the need for extrapolation. Faster testing allows a full frequency sweep to be completed in minutes rather than hours. The ability to crosscheck data in overlapping frequency areas further improves reliability.

To delve into the theory, methodology, and real-world applications of very high frequency testing, C-Therm Technologies is hosting a free webinar featuring Dr. Vincent St-Onge, a Research Professional at the University of Sherbrooke. Dr. St-Onge is the coordinator of the PYRIDINE (“polymer big data interface”) project and specializes in the advanced thermomechanical characterization platform for polymers (PYRIDINE – ATMCP). He holds a Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry and is an expert in materials characterization.

What You’ll Learn: The importance of high-frequency viscoelastic testing for materials research and product development. Challenges of traditional DMA methods and how direct high-frequency measurements improve accuracy. Industry applications, including insights into polymers, elastomers, foams, resins, and more. Efficiency gains from direct measurement, reducing testing time from hours to minutes.

Who Should Attend: This session is designed for engineers, researchers, and industry professionals involved in materials testing, product development, and quality control. Whether working with rubbers, foams, resins, or composite materials, attendees will gain valuable insights into high-frequency material behavior and best practices for analysis.
