Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Elastic Constants of Rocks: More Especially With Reference to Cubic CompressibilityThe determination of the cubic compressibility of solid substances is, as above mentioned, beset with serious difficulties. On the one hand, every direct method which has been suggested presents experimental difficulties which tend to impair its accuracy, while on the other hand the indirect methods are based on assumptions as to the isotropy of the materials, which are not warranted in the case of certain rocks. The indirect methods de pending ou the theory Of elasticity are capable of considerable variation, and it is of interest to examine them in some detail in order to see whether certain of them at least may not be depended upon to give reliable and satisfactory results.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
