Normal creep and stress relaxation experiments were performed on seven commercial brands of frankfurters. A nonlinear procedure was used to determine the model best fitting the data for each test. Re assumption of linear viscoelasticity was tested by the equivalence of model parameters. Results showed fankfurters to be linear viscoelastic materials at strain levels up to 3.8%.
