The thermodynamic properties that we have considered so far, such as the internal energy, the pressure and the heat capacity are collectively known as the mechanical properties and can be routinely obtained from a Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulation. Other thermodynamic properties are difficult to determine accurately without resorting to special techniques. These are the so-called entropic or thermal properties the free energy, the chemical potential and the entropy itself. The difference between the mechanical emd thermal properties is that the mechanical properties are related to the derivative of the partition function whereas the thermal properties are directly related to the partition function itself. To illustrate the difference between these two classes of properties, let us consider the internal energy, U, and the Fielmholtz free energy, A. These are related to the partition function by ... 

PVA fiber is best fit for reinforcement of oil brake hoses for cars that require high reUabiUty, because of excellent mechanical properties and good chemical resistance to pressure—transmission Hquid contained in the hose. 

Niobium is used as a substrate for platinum in impressed-current cathodic protection anodes because of its high anodic breakdown potential (100 V in seawater), good mechanical properties, good electrical conductivity, and the formation of an adherent passive oxide film when it is anodized. Other uses for niobium metal are in vacuum tubes, high pressure sodium vapor lamps, and in the manufacture of catalysts.

Lower Oxides. A number of hard, refractory suboxides have been prepared either as by-products of elemental boron production (1) or by the reaction of boron and boric acid at high temperatures and pressures (39). It appears that the various oxides represented as B O, B O, B22O2, and B23O2 may all be the same material ia varying degrees of purity. A representative crystalline substance was determined to be rhombohedral boron suboxide, B12O2, usually mixed with traces of boron or B2O3 (39). A study has been made of the mechanical properties of this material, which exhibits a hardness... 

An important appHcation is for filament-wound glass-reinforced pipe used in oil fields, chemical plants, water distribution, and as electrical conduits. Low viscosity Hquid systems having good mechanical properties (elongation at break) when cured are preferred. These are usually cured with Hquid anhydride or aromatic-amine hardeners. Similar systems are used for filament-win ding pressure botdes and rocket motor casings. 

In (2.19), F has been replaced by P because force and pressure are identical for a one-dimensional system. In (2.20), S/m has been replaced by E, the specific internal energy (energy per unit mass). Note that all of these relations are independent of the physical nature of the system of beads and depend only on mechanical properties of the system. These equations are equivalent to (2.1)-(2.3) for the case where Pg = 0. As we saw in the previous section, they are quite general and play a fundamental role in shock-compression studies. 

On a different note, after some 50 years of intensive research on high-pressure shock compression, there are still many outstanding problems that cannot be solved. For example, it is not possible to predict ab initio the time scales of the shock-transition process or the thermophysical and mechanical properties of condensed media under shock compression. For the most part, these properties must presently be evaluated experimentally for incorporation into semiempirical theories. To realize the potential of truly predictive capabilities, it will be necessary to develop first-principles theories that have robust predictive capability. This will require critical examination of the fundamental postulates and assumptions used to interpret shock-compression processes. For example, it is usually assumed that a steady state is achieved immediately after the shock-transition process. However, due to the fact that...
