The cryogenic mechanical properties of aluminum-lithium alloys are of interest because these alloys are attractive candidate materials for cryogenic tankage. Previous work indicates that the strength-toughness relationship for alloy 2090-T81 (Al-2.7Cu-2.2Li-0.12Zr by weight) improves significantly as temperature decrea...

A new procedure for obtaining density-dependent mixing rules is applied to the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The result is a one-parameter local-composition mixing rule which adequately represents the nonidealities possible in dense fluid mixtures but approaches the classical mixing rule at low densities. A th...
