The stress-relaxation function is shown to exhibit a stretched-exponential long-time decay. The divergence of the static shear viscosity is governed by the critical exponent $k=phi -eta$, where $phi$ is the (first) crossover exponent of random resistor networks, and $eta$ is the critical exponent for the gel fraction. We also derive new results on the behaviour of normal stress coefficients. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0107566 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
