A torsion-based rheometer for measuring viscoelastic material properties

Authors: Jutzeler, E., Asp, M., Kerr, K., Patteson, A. E.
Abstract:
Rheology and the study of viscoelastic materials is an integral part of engineering and the study of biophysical systems however the cost of a rheometer is only feasible for colleges, universities and research laboratories. Even if a rheometer can be purchased it is bulky and delicately calibrated limiting its usefulness to the laboratory itself. The design presented here is less than a tenth of the cost of a professional rheometer and portable making it the ideal solution for high school students as a way to introduce viscoelasticity at a younger age as well as for use in the field for obtaining preliminary rheological data.
