Abstract
Abstract. Using a composite material approach, fiber concentration and orientation were analyzed for their effect on mechanical properties of synthetic meat systems. Egg albumen binder soy fiber and Silastic rubber cotton thread systems were tested experimentally. Dynamic compressive and parallel creep shear tests were conducted to determine time dependent elastic and shear moduli. The maximum compressive modulus occurred with the fiber parallel to the loading direction while the shear modulus was greatest with the fibers at a 45d̀ orientation. The compressive modulus was minimum at a fiber orientation perpendicular to the load. Experimental values for the shear modulus were minimized at 0d̀ and 90d̀ orientation. Higher fiber concentration resulted in higher compressive and shear moduli for both experimental two‐phase systems.
