Delayed elastic contributions to the viscoelastic response of foams

We show that the slow viscoelastic response of a foam is that of a power-law fluid with a terminal relaxation. Investigations of the foam mechanics in creep and recovery tests reveal that the power-law contribution is fully reversible, indicative of a delayed elastic response. We demonstrate how thi...
