Abstract: There is provided a system and method for the measurements of viscoelastic properties of a soft sample in which the system incorporates a sample holder that has a membrane with a flexural rigidity that is less than the flexural rigidity of the main body and allowing vibration of the membrane-sample vibration unit in response to a vibration excitation to create resonance vibration modes that are detected to derive the viscoelastic properties.
