Dynamic material testing was used to study cement-slurry structure during early setting. The structure is very sensitive to shear strain and, to a lesser degree, to vibrational frequency. Both setting kinetics and cement structure can be affected by hydration conditions, including water content, temperature, and commonly used additives.
