Abstract
A constant stress rheometer in the creep mode was used to perform free oscillatory shear measurements on soft solids. The results obtained are in good to excellent agreement compared to forced oscillatory shear measurement data. Depending on the rheologic properties of the sample and the moment of inertia of the rotating device of the measurement system, free oscillations are suited to confirm or supplemented forced oscillatory measurement results.
