Due to their constituent powders, the materials of advanced compressed oral solid dosage (OSD) forms are micro-composites and strongly visco-elastic at macro- and micro-length scales. The disintegration, drug release, and mechanical strength of OSD forms depend on its micro-texture (such as porosity) and micro-scale physical/mechanical properties. In the current work, an algorithmic ultrasonic characterization framework for extracting the micro-visco-elastic properties of OSD materials is presented, and its applicability is demonstrated with a model material.
