Background
Gelatin and gelatin-based hydrogels are commonly utilized in the food industry, cell biology, soft robotics, sensors, actuators, tissue engineering, bioprinting, among others. Identifying the mechanical properties of gelatinous structures is essential for developing and optimizing processes in these applications but can be quite challenging due to gelatin’s soft nature. There have been extensive research efforts to characterize the Young’s and shear moduli, Poisson’s ratio, and the damping coefficient of soft structures using vibration measurements.
