Elucidating the G'' overshoot in soft materials with a yield transition via a time-resolved experimental strain decomposition [Engineering]

Materials that exhibit yielding behavior are used in many applications, from spreadable foods and cosmetics to direct write three-dimensional printing inks and filled rubbers. Their key design feature is the ability to transition behaviorally from solid to fluid under sufficient load or deformation. Despite its widespread applications, little is known...
