“…7 In addition, the modeling clay is a thixotropic yield-stress, 8,9 nearly incompressible material, 10,11 made from various waxes, inert oils, and mineral fillers that rapidly losses their strength with small increments of temperature. 12,13 Its constitutive parameters at low strain rates ( 10 0 s − 1 ) have been determined from shear and harmonic oscillation tests; 10 tension, compression, and friction tests; 4,12–14 rod and ram extrusion; 15,16 and spherical and conical indentation. 17…”
