Like the question title, are there any methods for measuring or calculating the mechanical properties of materials that form a percolation network?
As an example, are there any references that measure the mechanical properties of silver nanowire meshes rather than single silver nanowire?
What do you mean with the term "percolation"? Can you describe those materials? Maybe I can help you...
Thank you for the reply. As shown in the attached figure, I meant the material that forms a network.
Hi,
If you want to calculate there are theoretical approaches such as the Rule of mixtures, Halpin, Nielsen etc. However, these usually only work within certain percentages of addition.
Also, there is software where you can simulate an RVE containing your particles(wires tubes, etc), and obtain the mechanical properties. You can do this on DIGIMAT software.

Sebastian.
