experimentation

vary concentrations of the ballistic gel components to vary the density.
Need to find if there is a correlation between density and elastic modulus of the gel.
If so, what can this tell us about changes in muscle elasticity as a function of postmortem interval.

Testing would be:

Ballistics Gel
Pig muscles (fresh and then preserved ones)

HYPOTHESIS: The freshly killed pig muscle will be less elastic than the preserved one due to rigor mortis.
