Most lining systems are three-dimensional and therefore experience three-dimensional compressive thermal expansion states. This explains why refractory linings can resist large compressive thermal expansion forces that create stresses beyond the one-dimensional crushing stress. This also explains why the expansion force of the refractory lining system can cause distortions in the steel support structure and also why the refractory will not necessarily fail at high values of compressive stress. 

The limiting compression (or maximum v value) is, theoretically, the one that places the film in equilibrium with the bulk material. Compression beyond this point should force film material into patches of bulk solid or liquid, but in practice one may sometimes compress past this point. Thus in the case of stearic acid, with slow compression collapse occurred at about 15 dyn/cm [81] that is, film material began to go over to a three-dimensional state. With faster rates of compression, the v-a isotherm could be followed up to 50 dyn/cm, or well into a metastable region. The mechanism of collapse may involve folding of the film into a bilayer (note Fig. IV-18). 

On compression, a gaseous phase may condense to a liquid-expanded, L phase via a first-order transition. This transition is difficult to study experimentally because of the small film pressures involved and the need to avoid any impurities [76,193]. There is ample evidence that the transition is clearly first-order there are discontinuities in v-a plots, a latent heat of vaporization associated with the transition and two coexisting phases can be seen. Also, fluctuations in the surface potential [194] in the two phase region indicate two-phase coexistence. The general situation is reminiscent of three-dimensional vapor-liquid condensation and can be treated by the two-dimensional van der Waals equation (Eq. Ill-104) [195] or statistical mechanical models [191]. 

Computational methods have played an exceedingly important role in understanding the fundamental aspects of shock compression and in solving complex shock-wave problems. Major advances in the numerical algorithms used for solving dynamic problems, coupled with the tremendous increase in computational capabilities, have made many problems tractable that only a few years ago could not have been solved. It is now possible to perform two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations with a high degree of accuracy, and three-dimensional problems can also be solved with moderate accuracy. 

The concepts of interface rheology are derived from the rheology of three-dimensional phases. Characteristic for the interface rheology is the coupling of the motions of an interface with the flow processes in the bulk close to the interface. Thus, in interface rheology the shear and dilatational stresses of the interface are in equilibrium with the corresponding shear stress in the bulk. An important feature is the compressibility of the adsorption layer of an interface in contrast, the flow elements of the bulk are incompressible. As a result, compression or dilatation of the adsorption layer of a soluble surfactant is associated with desorption and adsorption processes by which the interface tends to reinstate the adsorption equilibrium with the bulk phase. 

It is readily apparent that the ( + )-C-15 6,6, C-15 9,9 and C-15 12,12 compounds show a collapse to some three-dimensional state, as has been observed for most over-compressed lipid films (Handa and Nagaki, 1979 Stewart and Arnett, 1982). However, the ensuing plateau region is... 

Another demonstration of the impact of upd on bulk deposition is provided by Pb and T1 deposition on Ag(lll) and Ag(lOO), where the orientation of the three-dimensional crystallites reflects the epitaxially relationship established by the upd layer [341]. For example, in the case of Pb deposition on Ag(lll) [395], a two-dimensional layer, Ag(lll)[110] compressed 2D hep Pb [110] R 4.5°, is initially formed followed by nucleation of a three-dimensional cluster having the same orientational relationship, Ag(lll)[110] 3DPb(lll)[110] R4.5°. 

This change in packing is thus analogous conceptually to the three-dimensional P-V isotherms, as is well known in classical physical chemistry (Gaines, 1966 Adamson and Gast, 1997 Birdi, 1989). We know that, as the pressure, P, is increased on a gas in a container, when T < Tcr, the molecules approach closer, and transition to a liquid phase takes place. Further compression of the liquid state results in the formation of a solid phase. 

As high pressures lead to transition from gas to liquid or to solid phases in the three-dimensional system, a similar state of affairs would be expected in the two-dimensional film compression n versus A isotherms (Figure 4.4), as described in the following text.
