Hi,

I made some alginate discs and calculated their rheological properties, however, after much searching I found this equation which is below and lets me calculate the Young Modulus. However, I wanted to make sure their are not any other ways of calculating it from frequency sweeps gained from a rheometer. Is there a better way.

G = E / [2(1 + ν)]

where: E — Modulus of elasticity in tension or compression, also known as Young's modulus; ν — Poisson's ratio, another material constant; and. G — shear modulus (also known as modulus of rigidity).

Any help you could give would appreciated.

Best wishes,

Abdullah
