Volume compression

Figure 4.2. Pressure-volume compression curves. For isentrope and isotherm, the thermodynamic path coincides with the locus of states, whereas for shock, the thermodynamic path is a straight line to point Pj, V, on the Hugoniot curve, which is the locus of shock states.

Fig. 2.3. Experimental determination of shock-stress versus volume compression from propagating shock waves is accomplished by a series of experiments carried out at different loading pressures. In the figure, the solid lines connect individual pressure-volume points with the initial condition. These solid straight lines are Rayleigh lines. The dashed line indicates an extrapolation into an uninvestigated low pressure region. Such extrapolation is typical of much of the strong shock data.

It has been a persistent characteristic of shock-compression science that the first-order picture of the processes yields readily to solution whereas second-order descriptions fail to confirm material models. For example, the high-pressure, pressure-volume relations and equation-of-state data yield pressure values close to that expected at a given volume compression. Mechanical yielding behavior is observed to follow behaviors that can be modeled on concepts developed to describe solids under less severe loadings. Phase transformations are observed to occur at pressures reasonably close to those obtained in static compression. 

The compressibility of polymers is strongly nonlinear at pressures of a few GPa. In order to consider the nonlinearity of the piezoelectric effect at shock pressure, it is of interest to consider the piezoelectric polarization in terms of the volume compression as shown in Fig. 5.9. The pressure-versus-volume relation for PVDF is not accurately known, but the available data certainly provide a relative measure of changes in compressibility. When considered versus volume, the piezoelectric polarization is found to to be remarkably linear. Thus, large volume compression does not appear to introduce large nonlinearities. Such a behavior will need to be considered when the theory of piezoelectricity for the heterogeneous piezoelectric polymer is developed. 

Fig. 5.9. The piezoelectric polarization of Fig. 5.7 is found to increase with volume compression. Hence, the large decrease in change of charge with stress is a manifestation of the highly nonlinear stress-volume relation of PVDF, not nonlinear piezoelectricity.

From the mechanical viewpoint, ferroelectrics exhibit unsteady, evolving waves at low stresses. Waves typical of well defined mechanical yielding are not observed. Such behavior is sensitive to the electrical boundary conditions, indicating that electromechanical coupling has a strong influence. Without representative mechanical behavior, it is not possible to quantitatively define the stress and volume compression states exciting a particular electrical response. 

The piezoelectric polymer investigations give new physical insight into the nature of the physical process in this class of ferroelectric polymers. The strong nonlinearities in polarization with stress are apparently more a representation of nonlinear compressibility than nonlinear electrical effects. Piezoelectric polarization appears to be linear with stress to volume compressions of tens of percent. The combination of past work on PVDF and future work on copolymers, that have quite different physical features promises to provide an unusually detailed study of such polymers under very large compression. 

As shown in Fig. 6.7, typical temperature histories show a quite different behavior from that observed with pressure in that the initial low pressure wave produces the major portion of the increase in temperature. This behavior is the expected consequence of the large volume compression of the powder compact. 

As shown in Fig. 6.6, the peak pressures are little affected by the density of the powder. This behavior is characteristic of a reverberation process to achieve peak pressure. On the other hand, the mean bulk temperature is strongly affected by the powder density, representing the volume compression to achieve solid density.

The Debye temperature, can be calculated from the elastic properties of the solid.

A chart which correlates experimental P - V - T data for all gases is included as Figure 2.1 and this is known as the generalised compressibility-factor chart.(1) Use is made of reduced coordinates where the reduced temperature Tr, the reduced pressure Pr, and the reduced volume Vr are defined as the ratio of the actual temperature, pressure, and volume of the gas to the corresponding values of these properties at the critical state. It is found that, at a given value of Tr and Pr, nearly all gases have the same molar volume, compressibility factor, and other thermodynamic properties. This empirical relationship applies to within about 2 per cent for most gases the most important exception to the rule is ammonia.

The slope of the line AB for fatty acids shows a decrease in area of about 0 8 per cent, for an increase of 10 dynes per centimetre for chains of 18 carbon atoms or over, values as low as 0 4 per cent, have been found. If we take the latter value, and calculate the surface compressibility of palmitic acid on the assumption that the length of the molecule is 21T A, we find that a force of 119 megabars is required for a contraction of 1 per cent. The volume compressibility of the paraffin CisHga is given as 125 megabars for the same contraction, and the agreement found is fully as good as could be expected. 

This model was shown to account for the observed trends of enthalpies, volumes, compressibilities and heat capacities of many types of hydrophobic solutes (hydrocarbons, alcohols and surfactants) In micellar solutions and also for the observed trends for the transfer of hydrophobic solutes to some alcohol-water mixtures. This latter observation supports the view that some alcohol-water mixtures exist as microphases which In many respects resemble micellar systems (11-12). 

For every strain, there arises, in an clastic substance, a corresponding stress, which represents ihe tendency of the substance tu recover its normal condition. Stress is expressed in units of force per unit area. Tensile stress, lor example, is the ratio of Ihe force of tension to ihe normal cross section of ihe rod subjected to it. Shearing stress is ihe force lending to push one layer of the material past the adjacent layer, per unit area of the layers. Pressure, expressed in like units, is the stress corresponding to volume compression, etc. 

At this stage, one has to take into account the volume compressibility of the material, since upon feed-up the hold-on time of material under pressure is determined by compressibility and slow viscous flow. If the pressure of injection PQ is sufficiently high, then at this stage a liquid may be considered to be Newtonian with viscosity q ,. Keeping this in mind, we may state that the calculation given below will be applicable to various plastisols (of types I and II) with the only difference that for plastisol I q = const, while for plastisol II q = q. For the sake of simplicity, the analysis will be performed for the case of a flat mould filled through a slit runner (Fig. 10 a). 

Elastomeric materials, which provide relatively low practical static deflections and have relatively high natural frequencies, are used only to isolate higher frequencies. The volume compressibility of elastomeric materials is relatively low, therefore the shape of the elastomeric isolator must be taken into account, and space must be provided for lateral expansion. Because of their inherent resistance to chemical and environmental deterioration, neoprene and other synthetic materials often can be used in severe environments where natural materials would deteriorate.

The formation of complex ions is an important problem for the study of the structure and properties of molten salts. Several physicochemical measurements give evidence of the presence of complex ions in melts. The most direct methods are the spectroscopic methods which obtain absorption, vibration and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Also, the formation of complex ions can be demonstrated, without establishing the quantitative formula of the complexes, by the variation of various physicochemical properties with the composition. These properties are electrical conductivity, viscosity, molecular refraction, diffusion and thermodynamic properties like molar volume, compressibility, heat of mixing, thermodynamic activity, surface tension. 

Important further illuminations of the relationships between the structural and transport properties is provided by crystallographic studies under pressure. As yet, very limited information is available. However, from studies of (TMTSF)2PF6, the volume compressibility is estimated to be 0.5% kbar-1 (49). It, therefore, requires 6 kbar to compress (TMTSF)2PF6 into the same volume as (TMTSF)2C104, which is in rough agreement with the critical pressure for superconductivity in the PF6 compound. 

Several methods involve a study of the properties of solutions in equilibrium and are hence reasonably described as thermodynamic. These methods usually involve thermal measurements, as with the heat and entropy of solvation. Partial molar volume, compressibility, ionic activity, and dielectric measurements can make contributions to solvation studies and are in this group.
