Negative pressure Subject

Deflection of a joint The largest deformation of a joint subjected to a positive or negative pressure, given by the measured difference in distance from a reference plane outside the joint to the joint with and without pressure. 

Vessels subject to external pressure should be designed to resist the maximum differential pressure that is likely to occur in service. Vessels likely to be subjected to vacuum should be designed for a full negative pressure of 1 bar, unless fitted with an effective, and reliable, vacuum breaker. 

In addition to the in-plane loads, roof diaphragms also are subjected to normal positive overpressures and, to a less severe extent, normal negative pressures. Diaphragms should be designed to resist simultaneous in-plane and norma blast loads in conjunction with other applicable toads. The time lag between in-plane and normal loads can be taken into account in the design. The deflection of the diaphragm should be checked to confirm that it docs not exceed permissible deflections established for attached elements. 

Briggs (B12) was able to subject water at room temperature to a negative pressure of nearly 270 atm. The experimental technique consisted of spinning a horizontal glass tube ( scrupulous cleanliness is necessary ) about a vertical axis located at its center. The tubing contained the liquid and was open at both ends. The centrifugal force needed to break the liquid column was observed. The experimental results are shown in Fig. 24. 

A fluid under a pressure lower than its vapor pressure, and especially under a negative pressure, is unstable thermodynamically with respect to formation of a bubble filled with vapors of the substance and even (in the case of negative pressure) of an empty one. A fluid subjected to negative pressure is completely analogous in this respect to a supersaturated vapor, unstable with respect to formation of a condensate, or to a supercooled liquid, unstable with respect to crystal formation. 

When the dUuent has precipitated out into PB-2.76K pools for diluent concentrations v > Vg then much more concentrated plasticization is possible in the craze borders in the manner illustrated in Fig. 31. Now the free PB, coating the surfaces of the craze subject to deformation induced negative pressures can be sorbed into a fringing craze surface layer to a depth of od, where d is the craze tuft diameter. However, the tuft diameter is itself dependent on the local plastic resistance by a product expression that is a principal finding of the meniscus interface convolution model, and is usually given in terms of the craze flow stress in the form... 

Is the dryer built to safe standards During the course of drying the material, the vessel may be subjected to positive or negative pressure. As such, it may need to be regulated by standards such as the ASME (American Society for Testing and Materials) Code, which defines mechanical specifications, such as wall thicknesses, for various materials of construction. This must be defined by the manufacturer, but the purchaser should be aware of the process needs so as to inform the manufacturer to insure the proper design. 

However, this is subject to controversy because negative pressure is not disallowed, even though negative absolute temperature is not possible. Several references that add fuel to the fire are Hayward (1971), Richards and Trevena (1976), and Sedgewick and Trevena (1976). 

When a thin bonded block is subjected to tensile loading, a state of approximately equal triaxial tension is set up in the central region of the block. The magnitude of the stress in each direction is given by the tensile stress, or negative pressure, <72 at r = 0 that is, Eea /h, from Eq. (1.32). Under this outwardly directed tension a small cavity in the central region of the block will expand indefinitely at a critical value of the tension, of about 5 /6. Thus, if cavities are present in the interior of a bonded block, they are predicted to expand indefinitely (i.e., rupture) at a critical tensile strain Cc, given approximately by... 

In what follows, we consider first the ideal cavitational response of bulk glassy polymers subjected to pure negative pressure in order to develop a frame of reference to ideal behavior, which crazing almost always short circuits. 

Cavitation is a rather general term used to describe the rupture of a liquid when subjected to sufficiently ]arge negative pressures. Furthermore cavitation is a group of phenomena which are associated with the occurence of cavities or bubbles in liquids. From the practical point of view we know two main research areas of cavitation, namely the hydraulic cavitation and the acoustic cavitation. The hydraulic cavitation is an unwanted phenomenon and occurs in pumps, turbines, ship propellers and hydrofoils for example.
