Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that the slope of the initial segment of the curve for reestablishment of the pressure cannot be less than half of the asymptotic slope over a long period of time; the article gives the limits of the errors in determination of the characteristic size of the block from the known lag time for reestablishment of the pressure.
