What's the difference between incompressibility and incompressible?

Incompressibility


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality of being incompressible, or incapable of reduction in volume by pressure; -- formerly supposed to be a property of liquids.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The myocardium was assumed to be composed of a nonlinear viscoelastic, inhomogeneous, anisotropic (transversely isotropic) and incompressible material operating under adiabatic and isothermal conditions.
  • (2) A model for left ventricular diastolic mechanics is formulated that takes into account noneligible wall thickness, incompressibility, finite deformation, nonlinear elastic effects, and the known fiber architecture of the ventricular wall.
  • (3) Our results showed that a lower percentage of normal subjects and a lower percentage of constipated patients were able to pass a 1.8 cm incompressible sphere compared with a 50 ml deformable balloon, although constipated patients found it more difficult than normal subjects to expel both types of simulated stool.
  • (4) The governing Navier-Stokes equations describing pulsatile, three-dimensional flow of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid are approximated using a pressure correction finite element method, which has been developed recently.
  • (5) In the present study a two-dimensional finite element model for incompressible Newtonian flow is applicated to the modelling of carotid artery flow.
  • (6) The equatorial region of the canine left ventricle was modeled as a thick-walled cylinder consisting of an incompressible hyperelastic material with homogeneous exponential properties.
  • (7) Cells and embryos are viewed mechanically as axisymmetric shell-like bodies containing a body of incompressible material.
  • (8) The sonographic criterion for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was visualization of an incompressible appendix with a maximal diameter greater than 7 mm.
  • (9) This analysis indicates that the bilayers are relatively incompressible.
  • (10) The problem of blood flow through a stenosis is solved using the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a rigid circular tube presenting a partial occlusion.
  • (11) The disc nucleus has been considered as an incompressible inviscid fluid and the annulus as a composite of collagenous fibres embedded in a matrix of ground substance.
  • (12) If the wall material is incompressible and behaves as a Voigt solid in shear, the results predict a decrease in wave amplitude per wavelength which is essentially independent of frequency over a wide range.
  • (13) A two-dimensional incompressible plane-stress finite element is formulated for the simulation of the passive-state mechanics of thin myocardial strips.
  • (14) The mechanisms of particle-ultrasound interaction may be described by relative motion attenuation, and scattering from a cloud of dense, incompressible spheres for the case of IDE particles in agar.
  • (15) The low sensitivity of ABI in the identification of graft stenosis was due to insignificant decrease (less than 0.15) of ABI (n = 11), incompressibility of the tibial arteries (n = 6), or residual occlusive lesions after surgery (n = 3).
  • (16) The human response headform is modeled as a spherical brain of nearly incompressible material, a covering of linear elastic dura, a linear elastic spherical skull, and a layer of nonlinear scalp material.
  • (17) In living tissues, which have abundant water and are incompressible to external pressure, the compressive force by atmospheric pressure is simply the internal fluid pressure.
  • (18) The eye is represented by a chamber with elastic walls, a pulsatile incoming flow of incompressible fluid (blood), and a steady outgoing flow of blood.
  • (19) The membrane is assumed to consist of two laterally incompressible leaflets which are in close contact but unconnected.
  • (20) The flow is assumed to be steady and laminar, and the fluids incompressible.

Incompressible


Definition:

  • (a.) Not compressible; incapable of being reduced by force or pressure into a smaller compass or volume; resisting compression; as, many liquids and solids appear to be almost incompressible.
