Abstract
ABSTRACT The relaxation modulus and ultimate tensile strength of the soybean seedcoat as a function of drying temperature and moisture content were determined using constant strain rate tensile tests. The master curve for the seedcoat relaxation modulus was derived using the time-temperature and time-moisture shifting technique. Both properties decrease with increasing moisture content and drying temperature. A two-term Maxwell model was derived for describing the relaxation modulus of the seedcoat. The soybean seedcoat can be considered as a thermo-hydro-rheologically simple viscoelastic material..
