Determining the Linear Viscoelastic Region in Oscillatory Measurements
This note will describe the linear viscoelastic region (LVR) and how to determine the LVR in oscillatory experiments for the purpose of obtaining quality data. All aspects of the LVR discussed in this note are general to viscoelastic samples, including (but in no way limited to) polymers, foods, gels, creams, pastes, slurries, emulsions, and inks.
