The viscoelastic response of soft material: A theoretical and experimental study based on barreling deformation
Abstract(#br)The viscoelastic properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) measured are demonstrated by the uniaxial indentation test. Based on the barreling deformation, the viscoelastic models are established and the factors influencing the viscoelastic properties are discussed. These results indicate that the deformation response is greatly associated with load conditions and the PDMS materials exhibited more elastic properties at large load conditions as compared to small load conditions.
