Figure 1

Illustration of the principle of controlled-strain, linear, simple-shear rheometry for viscoelastic measurements. A small-amplitude displacement (x) is prescribed to the sample through the upper plate, and the shear force (F) resulting from the viscoelastic response of the sample is detected through the lower plate.
