Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks (1998)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (1998). Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 31(9), 1083

A study of viscoelastic shear wave dispersion in a simulated gelation process involving mechanically self-similar nodal networks is reported. The network formed at the gel point (the infinite network cluster, or `critical gel') shares a common struct... Read More about Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks.
