“Scaling Theory for Mechanical Phase Transition in Fiber Networks: Anomalous Entropic Elasticity”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115508

This study develops a scaling theory for the mechanical phase transition at finite temperature in fiber networks with connectivity below the isostatic threshold, and verifies these scaling relations through Monte Carlo simulations, finding anomalous entropic elasticity with sublinear temperature dependence in the linear elastic regime.
