TLDR
In this paper, the isothermal p-V relation for Al2O3 at 295 °K was established by using a polynomial quadratic in p to represent the bulk modulus, BT, as a function of pressure.
Abstract
The isothermal p-V relation for Al2O3 at 295 °K is established by using a polynomial quadratic in p to represent the isothermal bulk modulus, BT, as a function of pressure. The second order derivative of BT with respect to pressure at p=0 is evaluated from available ultrasonic data. Comparison between experimental compression measurements and the present calculated results shows excellent agreement up to at least 1 megabar. It also shows that there seems to exist a phase transition in the neighborhood of 1.3 megabars.

Semiclassical approach for isothermal densification of a solid body driven by diffusion-like mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, a semiclassical theory is proposed to investigate the pressureless densification of a solid body governed by diffusion phenomena at constant temperature, where the Debye approximation for the Helmholtz free energy has been provided with a density of vibrational modes that accounts for the microstructural changes occurring at the frequency scale of the implied matter transport.

The use of ultrasonic measurements under modest pressure to estimate compression at high pressure

TL;DR: In this article, a formula for the compression is presented which is based upon the assumption that the bulk modulus is linear with pressure, and the parameters of this formula are evaluated with acoustic data so that there are no arbitrary constants or curve-fitting.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic constants and static strains of a solid subjected to large hydrostatic pressures can be deduced from measurements of resonant frequencies (or transit times) for ultrasonic waves in specimens of suitable crystallographic orientations.
