Theoretical Considerations for Viscoelastic Characterization of Biomaterials

The mechanical properties of biomaterials need to be known and standardised before design, construction and testing of processing and handling machinery can be undertaken. Since experiments in the past have proved the viscoelastic nature of biomaterials, it is necessary to characterize them in ord...
