Rheology of pigskin gelatine for geological analogue experiments has been determined.
The elastic domain of 250 bloom gelatine has been defined to model elastic behaviour of geological materials.
For gelatine to behave elastically, strain rates should range between 0.1 and 10 s− 1 and temperature values should be 5–15 °C.
These results are comparable and applicable to gelatine of 245–260 bloom.
