Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks
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 poi...
