Compressibility profiles, or functions of solid fraction versus applied pressure, are used to provide insight into the fundamental mechanical behavior of powders during compaction. These functions, collected during compression (in-die) or post ejection (out-of-die), indicate the amount of pressure that a given powder formulation requires to be compressed to a given density or thickness. To take...

Phenomenological equations (with coeecients to be determined by speciied experiments) for the poroelastic behavior of a dual porosity medium are formulated and the coeecients in these linear equations are identiied. The generalization from the single porosity case increases the number of independent coeecients for volume deformation from three to six for an isotropic applied stress. The physica...

The partial specific volume and adiabatic compressibility of proteins reflect the hydration properties of the solvent-exposed protein surface, as well as changes in conformational states. Reverse micelles, or water-in-oil microemulsions, are protein-sized, optically-clear microassemblies in which hydration can be experimentally controlled. We explore, by densimetry and ultrasound velocimetry, t...

The compressibility factor (Z-factor) of natural gases is necessary in many gas reservoir engineering calculations. Accurate determination of this parameter is of crucial need and challenges a large number of used simulators in petroleum engineering. Although numerous studies for prediction of gas compressibility factor have been reported in the literature, the accurate prediction of this param...

The elastic properties of two and three-dimensional Cauchy solids subject to initial pressure are examined and shown to require only experimental isotherm information for application. In two and three dimensions the sound speeds, Poisson's ratio, and the Debye temperatures depend upon a dimensionless parameter given by the product of pressure and compressibility. It is shown that the pressure-c...

Influence of uniaxial small-scale anisotropy and compressibility on the stability of scaling regime and on the anomalous scaling of structure functions of a scalar field is investigated in the model of a passive scalar field advected by the compressible Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field with the covariance ∝ δ(t − t ′)|x − x ′ | 2ε by using the field theoretic renormalization group a...

We realized an integrated microfluidic chip that allows measuring both optical deformability and acoustic compressibility on single cells, by optical stretching and acoustophoresis experiments respectively. Additionally, we propose a measurement protocol that allows evaluating the experimental apparatus parameters before performing the cell-characterization experiments, including a non-destruct...

RIFT (Resin Infusion under Flexible Tool) process modelling requires accurate material data like resin viscosity, reinforcement compressibility and reinforcement permeability. During the mould closing, the compression phase and the resin flow are important stages that strongly influence the quality of the obtained parts. In RIFT process the upper mould is a formable vacuum bag: its flexibility ...

Stretchability and compressibility of supercapacitors is an essential element of modern electronics, such as flexible, wearable devices. Widely used polyvinyl alcohol-based electrolytes are neither very stretchable nor compressible, which fundamentally limits the realization of supercapacitors with high stretchability and compressibility. A new electrolyte that is intrinsically super-stretchabl...

We use the Percus-Yevick approach in the chemical-potential route to evaluate the equation of state of hard hyperspheres in five dimensions. The evaluation requires the derivation of an analytical expression for the contact value of the pair distribution function between particles of the bulk fluid and a solute particle with arbitrary size. The equation of state is compared with those obtained ...
