  2. Void ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_ratio

    where is the void ratio, is the porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (gases and liquids), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total (or bulk) volume. This figure is relevant in composites , in mining (particular with regard to the properties of tailings ), and in soil science .

  3. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    where is the volume fraction of the fibers in the composite (and is the volume fraction of the matrix).. If it is assumed that the composite material behaves as a linear-elastic material, i.e., abiding Hooke's law = for some elastic modulus of the composite and some strain of the composite , then equations 1 and 2 can be combined to give

  4. Bulk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_density

    The density of quartz is around 2.65 g/cm 3 but the (dry) bulk density of a mineral soil is normally about half that density, between 1.0 and 1.6 g/cm 3. In contrast, soils rich in soil organic carbon and some friable clays tend to have lower bulk densities ( <1.0 g/cm 3 ) due to a combination of the low-density of the organic materials ...

  5. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

    Specific surface area (SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, [1] (with units of m 2 /kg or m 2 /g). Alternatively, it may be defined as SA per solid or bulk volume [ 2 ] [ 3 ] (units of m 2 /m 3 or m −1 ).

  6. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

    Plastic consumption uses by field. Filler materials are particles added to resin or binders (plastics, composites, concrete) that can improve specific properties, make the product cheaper, or a mixture of both. [1] The two largest segments for filler material use is elastomers and plastics. [2]

  7. Plastic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_ratio

    In mathematics, the plastic ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 53/40. Its true value is the real solution of the equation x 3 = x + 1. The adjective plastic does not refer to the artificial material, but to the formative and sculptural qualities of this ratio, as in plastic arts. Squares with sides in ratio ρ form a closed spiral

  8. Dilatancy (granular material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilatancy_(granular_material)

    In order to specify this behaviour, the initial void ratio, , and the maximum void ratio, , of the material must be entered as general parameters. As soon as the volume change results in a state of maximum void, the mobilised dilatancy angle, ψ m {\displaystyle \psi _{m}} , is automatically set back to zero.

  9. Hausner ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausner_ratio

    A Hausner ratio greater than 1.25 - 1.4 [9] is considered to be an indication of poor flowability. The Hausner ratio (H) is related to the Carr index (C), another indication of flowability, by the formula = / (). Both the Hausner ratio and the Carr index are sometimes criticized, despite their relationships to flowability being established ...
