More on continuum mechanics
More on continuum mechanics This includes mostly instruments which measure macroscopic properties of matter: In the fields of solid state physics; in condensed matter physics which considers solids, liquids and in-betweens exhibiting for example viscoelastic behavior. Furthermore, fluid mechanics, where liquids, gases, plasmas and in-betweens like supercritical fluids are studied. Density This refers to particle density of fluids and compact(ed) solids like crystals, in contrast to bulk density of grainy or porous solids. Aerometer liquids Dasymeter gases Gas collecting tube gases Hydrometer liquids Pycnometer liquids Resonant frequency and Damping Analyser (RFDA) solids For the ranges of density-values see: Orders of magnitude (density) Hardness of a solid Durometer Shape and surface of a solid ...
