Mechanical Models of Viscoelatic Mechanical Models of Viscoelatic Foods and their Types Foods and their Types Dr. J. Badshah University Professor-cum- Chief Scientist Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Dairy Technology (Bihar Animal Sciences University, Patna)
Viscoelasticity Viscoelasticity Property that exhibits both viscous and Elastic Properties when undergoing deformation. The relationship between stress and strain depends on time. Phenomena in Viscoelastic materials are: Relaxation behaviour: If the strain is held constant, the stress decreases with time Creep behaviour : If the stress is held constant, the strain increases with time Hysterisis: If cyclic loading is applied, hysterisis occurs, leading to a dissipation of mechanical energy
Viscoelasticity Viscoelasticity The effective stiffness depends upon the rate of application of the load Synthetic polymers, wood and human tissues as well as metal at high temperature display significant viscoelasticity effects. Types of viscoelasticity: Linear viscoelasticity is when the function is separable in both creep response and load. Non Linear viscoelasticity is when the function is not separable. It usually happens when deformation is large Anelastic Materials is when the material will fully recover to its original state on the removal of load (Special Case)
Viscoelastic Viscoelastic Foods and Elastic to Viscous Foods and Elastic to Viscous properties properties Most solid foods including Cheese, paneer, aged SCM, aged and cooled Ice Cream and indigenous dairy Products ( Khoa and Chhana based sweets etc.), Fermented dairy Products etc.are viscoelatic in nature. The ratio of elastic to viscous properties depend on time scale of deformation. At short time scale its behaviour is elastic but at long time scales, its behaviour is mainly viscous i.e. The deformation remained even after the stress is removed.
Mechanical Models of Mechanical Models of Viscoelastic Viscoelastic Foods Foods Components of Mechanical Models for the three properties i.e. elasticity ( The model is helical spring . It has load and deflection related as del x = F /E For Viscosity property, the model is Dash pot For plasticity, the Model is St. Venant Body The Models are: Maxwell Model Kelvin Model Burger |Model
