Predicting the Mechanical Behaviour of Starch Gels through Inverse Analysis of Indentation Data

Two types of starch gels made with various starch/water concentrations were studied in terms of their mechanical behaviour. Indentation tests were performed which revealed a rate independent load-deflection response. An inverse analysis based on the Marquardt-Levenberg optimisation algorithm and Fin...
