Modelling soft filled viscoelastic solids. Wheat flour doughs are made in vast quantities daily, and improvements in processing, especially in sheeting (rolling) and extrusion are needed. To enable this we will create a novel mathematical description of the material which will be useful for predicting the shapes of processed products. Wheat breeding cycles can be shortened by using the model rheological parameters, since baking quality is closely linked to dough rheology. A number of Australian ....Modelling soft filled viscoelastic solids. Wheat flour doughs are made in vast quantities daily, and improvements in processing, especially in sheeting (rolling) and extrusion are needed. To enable this we will create a novel mathematical description of the material which will be useful for predicting the shapes of processed products. Wheat breeding cycles can be shortened by using the model rheological parameters, since baking quality is closely linked to dough rheology. A number of Australian wheats will be considered and their rheologies will be compared.Read moreRead less
Mullins-type effects in soft filled viscoelastic solids. Bread dough is made in vast quantities daily, and improvements in processing,especially sheet rolling,are needed,and to enable this we propose to create a novel mathematical description of the material.

Bread dough is made in vast quantities daily, and improvements in processing,especially sheet rolling,are needed,and to enable this we propose to create a novel mathematical description of the material. Also, wheat breeding cycles can be drastically shortened by using knowledge of dough rheology, since baking quality is closely linked to rheology. The mathematical framework can then be applied to other filled viscoelastic systems, and work on liquid crystals may be used to develop artificial muscle material, once their rheological description and behaviour are known.Read moreRead less
