Pressure volume curves for Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. (alligator weed) grown in 0 to 400 millimolar NaCl were used to determine water potential (Ψ), osmotic potential ($\psi _{s}$), ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

Skoltech researchers have presented a new simple physical model for predicting the hardness of materials based on information ...

The principal difference in the mechanical behavior of fluids compared to solids is that when a shear stress is applied to a fluid it experiences a continuing and permanent distortion. Fluids offer no ...
