Abstract

Recent advances in rheometry exploiting frequency-modulated (chirp) waveforms have dramatically reduced the time required to perform linear viscoelastic characterisation of complex materials. However, the technique was optimised for ‘separate motor transducer’ instruments, in which the drive motor i...
