Elasticity, coefficient, isothermal,

The calculated isothermal elastic tensor for yS-HMX is compared in Table 8 to the one reported by Zaug (isentropic conditions). Uncertainties in the calculated elastic coefficients represent one standard deviation in values predicted from five contiguous two nanosecond simulation sequences from the overall ten nanosecond simulation. As mentioned above, Zaug s experiments sufficed to determine uniquely five of the thirteen elastic constants (modulo the... 

Experimental Determination of Y (Table I). The elasticity coefficient (E) and the surface density (8) are determined directly from the compression isotherm (7r vs. a). The monolayer is compressed from a given surface pressure with the position of the wettable blade at distance X from the compression barrier—i.e., compressed from 5.0-5.5 dynes/cm. 

The derived functions of the volume with respect to temperature and pressure are expansivity, a, and compressibility, p, written as Eqs. (9) and (10), respectively. Both refer to unit volume and both are usually positive. The best known substance with a negative expansivity up to about 277 K is water. The negative sign for compressibility in Eq. (10) takes care of the fact that increasing pressure always decreases the volume. Note also that the inverse of the compressibility is the bulk modulus, also called the isothermal elasticity coefficient.

A rubber-like solid is unique in that its physical properties resemble those of solids, liquids, and gases in various respects. It is solidlike in that it maintains dimensional stability, and its elastic response at small strains (<5%) is essentially Hookean. It behaves like a liquid because its coefficient of thermal expansion and isothermal compressibility are of the same order of magnitude as those of liquids. The implication of this is that the intermolecular forces in an elastomer are similar to those in liquids. It resembles gases in the sense that the stress in a deformed elastomer increases with increasing temperature, much as the pressure in a compressed gas increases with increasing temperature. This gas-like behavior was, in fact, what first provided the hint that rubbery stresses are entropic in origin. 

Further properties include the isothermal bulk modulus (Kt), the thermal expansion coefficient (/ ) and the constant pressure heat capacity (Cp). The isothermal bulk modulus is calculated first (or from corrected elastic constants as discussed in Section 6.2) and is usually defined as the Reuss bulk modulus...

In recent years the analysis of Isothermal point contacts has made considerable advances. Procedures have been developed to allow the simultaneous solution of the elasticity and Reynolds equations, and have provided many numerical results from which theoretical film thickness expressions have been derived. These solutions to the elastohydrodynamic problem may be divided Into two types. Firstly, where the lubricant viscosity Is significantly affected by the generation of pressure within the conjunction area the conditions are known as plezovlscous or hard elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Typical situations for this type of lubrication are steel bodies lubricated by a mineral oil, e.g. ball bearings. The second type of elastohydrodynamic lubrication Is that where the fluid experiences very little change In Its viscosity and Is therefore termed Isovlscous or soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication. This type of lubrication would be expected where the contacting materials are of low elastic modulus (e.g. nitrile rubber) lubricated by a mineral oil or a fluid of very low pressure-viscosity coefficient. (These two regimes of lubrication may also be described as... 

When dT = 0, the dey/dau) represents the isothermal elastic compliances of the crystal setting dau = 0 shows that dey/dT) is nothing other than the thermal expansion coefficient per unit volume. The product T(dS/daki) yields the heat produced when a crystal is stressed isothermally. Note that on account of Eqs. (5.10.16) and (5.10.17c), the off-diagonal components are equal—a prediction based on thermodynamics that may be checked by experiment. 

The isothermal moduli can be calculated from the adiabatic ones using the thermal expansion coefficient a, specific heat at constant pressure Cp, and density q (Garber and Granato, 1975 Kayser and Stassis, 1981, Rausch and Kayser, 1977). Table 3 shows the comparison between the adiabatic and isothermal elastic stiffness constants for cubic crystals. The former are about 2% higher than the latter.
