Linear viscoelastic measurements of commerical therapy putties for design and intuition
This dataset complements the publication Mapping Linear Viscoelasticity for Design and Tactile Intuition (Corman & Ewoldt, 2019). It contains rigorous shear rheometry measurements for six commercial silicone putties, including creep recovery, SAOS, LAOS, and stress relaxation. Additional, unpublished data was generated as part of a graduate rheology course taught by Randy Ewoldt at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Together, these datasets provide a comprehensive example of linear viscoelasticity of a commercial material. The collection is intended both as a pedagogical resource for developing physical intuition in linear viscoelasticity and as a reference dataset for data interpretation, model fitting, and comparative rheological analysis.
