16 - Viscoelastic Model Basics

Is this model fluid-dominated (flows unrestricted) or solid dominated (strain is limited)?

• fluid-dominated

• solid-dominated

What kind of experiment is shown in the figure?

• Load to failure test

• Creep test

• Stress relaxation Test

• Cyclic loading test

Is this model fluid-dominated (flows unrestricted) or solid dominated (strain is limited)?

• fluid-dominate

• solid-dominated

If instant (step) strain, ε₀, is applied to the model shown, what is the STRESS at the instant the strain is applied?

• E₀(ε₀)

• E₂(ε₀)

• (E₀+E₂)(ε₀)

• (η₀+η₁)(ε₀)

From today's reading: What does the term, δ, in the graph displayed represent?

• the amount of viscous behavior of a tissue

• a time delay in data collection

• the phase shift between stress and strain

• the orientation angle of collagen fibers
