(a) Mean complex modulus of each region over the frequency range of 0.01–3Hz. The differences in magnitude between the regions indicate that the dynamic material properties vary significantly across the disc surface. (b) Mean phase angle over five regions of interest. The values remain constant for each region over high frequencies, but below ~1 Hz the phase angle increases significantly. This increase in phase angle indicates a greater viscous response during low frequencies.
