Imprinting force pressure

The outer diameter of the window seat should be matched to the diameter of the window itself, and it must not be larger. At the highest pressures, the force acting on the window may be sufficient to imprint it slightly into the seat due to the bending in (concavity) under load of a Bridgman-type plug such as that shown in Fig. 3.22. This will cause failure of the window on the downstroke. 

To date there is no conclusive experimental evidence that the solvation forces in nonpolar liquids are indeed crystallization processes. Gao and Landman suggest with their MD simulation that the molecular surface corrugations are "imprinted" into the nanoconfmed and highly pressured (MPa) liquid. Their simulation predicts that if the commensurability of the molecular surface corrugation of the two solid surfaces around the confined liquid of spherical shaped molecules is altered, e.g.,...
