It has been recognized that the compressibility of hydraulic fluid, which is characterized by the value of its bulk modulus, heavily affects on the system behavior and performance. In practice, the value of the oil bulk modulus varies by the operational and structural characteristics of the hydraulic system. This study presents the theoretical derivation of the effective bulk modulus and describes an experimental impulse technique that allows accurate measurement of oil effective bulk modulus with pressure variation in a hydraulic system. Experimental and analytical results show that the value of the effective bulk modulus varies a lot in low pressure region by the effect of entrained air, while the effective bulk modulus can be estimated just using the oil and container bulk modulus on the other high pressure region.

It is well known that the entrained air in oil causes appreciable reduction in the stiffness of hydraulic systems. It makes the response delay of the systems and sometimes destroys the stability. Because the hydraulic systems of automatic transmissions are operated in relatively low pressure and high temperature, it is very important to analyze the effects of the air included in automatic transmission fluid. However, it is difficult to derive the generalized model to describe the effective bulk modulus theoretically or measure it in actual operating conditions of automatic transmissions. This paper reviews previous studies of the air effects in hydraulic systems and the measurement techniques of the effective bulk modulus in operating conditions. Based on this work, the theoretical model with moderate complexity and the measurement technique of the effective bulk modulus considering entrained air effect at real operating conditions are suggested. Our paper also shows that the quantity of the entrained air in the automatic transmission fluid can be estimated from the experimental results.

Due to the unique characteristic of auxetic material, negative poisson's ratio, it has a variety of distinctive properties compared to conventional materials. Numerous researches have been conducted on the auxetic material in order to find out how to make auxetics. In this study, we analyzed triangular and rectangular patterned rotating rigid units using finite element method. Our purpose is to investigate the mechanical properties of the rotating rigid units and to show their auxetic behaviors. We studied the Poisson's ratio and the bulk modulus of the rotating rigid units depending on their unit cell sizes. The Poisson's ratio and the bulk modulus decreased as the number of unit cells increased. Also, when the geometry of the unit cell was changed, the tendency of the Poisson's ratio and the bulk modulus was also different from the previous case. The results of the Poisson's ratio and the bulk modulus referred that they were critically affected by the number of unit cells and the shape of unit cell.

This paper presents the effects of cylinder shell elasticity on effective bulk modulus of oil $K_e$ in automotive hydraulic dampers. A theoretical model of cylinder shell bulk modulus $K_c$ based on the elasticity theory of thick-walled cylinder incorporating not only radial but longitudinal deformation is proposed. In a cylinder, values of $K_c$ by the new model and traditional models are computed and the discrepancies among them are discussed. In a twin-tube type automotive damper, the variation of $K_e$ under different pressure values in chambers of the damper cylinder, based on different theoretical models for $K_c$ is computed. Through these computations, it is shown that remarkable discrepancies in computed values of $K_e$ might occur according to the $K_e$ models in connection with $K_c$ models.

This study presents a direct measurement method for grain bulk modulus, which is important hydraulic-mechanical properties of rock, and conducts the experiment to investigate the grain bulk modulus of sandstone. In addition, the factors affecting the grain bulk modulus were investigated, comparing volumetric characteristics of rocks with different properties. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the theoretically estimated bulk modulus is overestimated than the direct measured one. The possibility of the difference was analyzed, discussing the existence of non-connected pore space due to particle structure of the rock. Finally, the experimental results showed that the direct measurement suggested in this study can reliably predict the grain bulk modulus of sandstone.

DME(Di-methyl Ether) has been expected to be one of the promising alternative fuels for compression ignition engines due to its low emission characteristics for particulate matter. However, its physical properties such as density, bulk modulus and viscosity are not comparable to those of conventional diesel fuel. Especially, problems caused by low lubricity and high compressibility need to be understood more thoroughly, when a DME fuel is used for compression ignition engine, especially with mechanical fuel supply system. In this study, measurement and calculation of DME's bulk modulus were carried out over the range of temperatures from $-3^{\circ}C$ to $53^{\circ}C$, and pressures from 50 bar to 250 bar using an experimental apparatus built in this work. The results show that DME is prone to be compressed more easily compared to diesel fuel. A comparison of bulk modulus with butane and propane were also made in this work.

For estimation of chain-matching phenomena between normal paraffin as a solvent and straight-chain fatty acid as an additive, the density measurement of n-dodecane, n-tetradecane and n-hexadecane were carried out at oil temperature 313K and pressure up to 1.3 GPa. Their solidification pressure were easily determined by the appearance of molecular crystal, abrupt volumetric contraction and generation of heat of solidification and showed minima under the matching condition. The bulk modulus K of molecular crystal was evaluated using phase diagram. The bulk modulus showed maxima under the each matching condition. The chain matching effect on the bulk modulus beyond the scope of the interfacial phenomena are confirmed.

The electronic structure and elastic properties of the 4d transition metal carbides MC (M = Y, Zr, Nb, Rh) were studied by means of extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel tight-binding band electronic structure calculations. As the valence electron population of M increases, the bulk modulus of the MC compounds in the rocksalt structure does not increase monotonically. The dominant covalent bonding in these compounds is found to be M-C bonding, which mainly arises from the interaction between M 4d and C 2p orbitals. The bonding characteristics between M and C atoms affecting the variation of the bulk modulus can be understood on the basis of their electronic structure. The increasing bulk modulus from YC to NbC is associated with stronger interactions between M 4d and C 2p orbitals and the successive filling of M 4d-C 2p bonding states. The decreased bulk modulus for RhC is related to the partial occupation of Rh-C antibonding states.

There are several types of compressors which are appropriate for hydrogen gas station. Metal diaphragm type of hydrogen compressor is the one of them, a use in which satisfies the requirements of maintaining gas purity and producing high pressure over 700 bar. The objective of this study is to investigate an characteristics of compression as bulk modulus of oil varies. Three cases of bulk modulus ranging from $2{\times}10^9$, $4.52{\times}10^9$ and $7{\times}10^9$ were studied through FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) analysis. Gas pressure, oil pressure and deflection degree of diaphragm were analysed during a certain period of compression process. Highest pressure and deflection were found in the condition of high bulk modulus of $7{\times}10^9$.

Many models have been used to represent the effects of confining stress, bulk stress, and shear stress on the value of the resilient modulus (Mr). This study was conducted to estimate Mr of the recycled materials such as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) through the repeated load cyclic test. Also, two models were applied to estimation of Mr for comparing between measured Mr values and predicted Mr values. The first model (A-model) can provide a quick and easy estimation of the Mr based on the bulk stress, while the second model (N-model) includes not only the bulk stress but also the shear stress. Statistical analysis indicated that all results using the both of models are significant at a 95 % confidence level. Therefore, the both of models could be used as an effective prediction model of Mr for RCA and RAP. Especially, the Model 2 including the parameters of the bulk stress and the shear stress could give more reliable estimation at the high range of Mr values.
