Abstract

We show that the strain involved in forming a dough specimen before testing will often radically alter the measured rheological properties in shear and in elongation if these pre-strains are greater than about 0.5 (Hencky strain). It is shown that this may be accounted for by changing the G(1) value used in the damage function model to a relevant value.
