Sometimes the creep ringing phenomena are observed as results of the coupling between the instrumental inertia and the viscoelasticity of the materials. Especially, biopolymer solutions are apt to be the victim of creep ringing because creep test is usually conducted to enlarge the frequency range of dynamic data. To overcome the creep ringing problems, we developed a general method which extracts pure material response functions from creep data with ringing by the use of Laplace transform and nonlinear regression method. The method is not based on spring-dashpot models and gives continuous relaxation time spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
