Densification and permeability reduction in hot-pressed calcite: A kinetic model

UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis and light irradiance through hot-pressed and hot-pressed-veneered glass ceramics.

This study evaluated the irradiance of curing units through core and veneered hot-pressed ceramics as well as the transmittance of these materials. Discs of 0.7, 1.4 and 2 mm in thickness of Empress (EMP) and Empress Esthetic (EST), and 0.8 (n=5) and 1.1 mm (n=5) thickness of Empress 2 (E2) were obtained. For E2, two of the 0.8-mm-thick discs were covered with dentin (1.2- and 1.4-mm-thick) and...

Model Reduction in Kinetic Theory

Methods to derive macroscopic transport equations for rarefied gases from the Boltzmann equations are presented. Featured methods include the Chapman-Enskog expansion, Grad’s moment method, and the author’s order of magnitude method. The resulting macroscopic equations are compared and discussed by means of simple problems, including linear stability, shock wave structures, and Couette flow.

Experimental Analysis of Porosity and Permeability in Pressed Paper

In this paper, we report an analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability. Previously, we reported a pressed paper that exhibits decreased porosity and permeability. Additionally, its applications into programmed sample delivery as well as flow rate control were reported. However, there is a need for a theoretical analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability...

Dynamic Multiaxial Response of a Hot-Pressed Aluminum Nitride

High Temperature Damage Accumulation in Hot Pressed Alumina

The development of grain-boundary cavitation in hot-pressed A1203 both during flexural creep and tress-free annealing in air has been studied. Creep damage accumulation in driven both by the applied stress, and by internal gas pressure in the cavities. The internal pressure results from gas trapped during hot pressing, and from gas-generating chemical reactions active during testing. At machine...
