Simplemechanicalelements
Elastic solid: force (stress) proportional to strain
Viscoelastic material: time scales are important Fast deformation: solid-like Slow deformation: fluid-like

Rheometergeometries
Cone-plate
uniform strain / strain-rate fixed gap height
Plate-plate
non-uniform strain adjustable gap height good for testing boundary effects like slip
Couette cell
good sensitivity for low-viscosity fluids
Linearviscoelas)city
Acquire data at constant frequency, increasing stress/strain

2pointvs1pointmicrorheology
2-point microrheology calculates a mean-square displacement from the correlated pair-wise motion of particles, rather than the singleparticle MSD.
