AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Amid the recent interest in the role of membrane viscosity in the deformation
of a fluid-filled capsule, we consider the role of various capsule properties (shear
elasticity, membrane bending stiffness and viscosity) in determining the response and
recovery times of a spherical capsule in shear flow. These times are determined by
fitting exponential functions to results for the Taylor deformation parameter $D_{xy}$. We
focus on the relationship between the membrane and fluid viscosity ratios, as suggested
by Diaz et al [8], and whether adjustments to the fluid viscosity ratio may be
used to approximate the effects of membrane viscosity. Based on its ability to reproduce
response and recovery times, our results suggest that such an approach holds
promise.</p>
