Abstract

A new theoretical model is constructed for the viscoelastic response of a clamped circular membrane deformed by a spherical indenter, using the classical Maxwell and Standard Linear Solid (SLS) constitutive equations. Preliminary stress-relaxation experiments are performed for a hydrogel membrane and the corresponding data fitted to the SLS-based viscoelastic model.
