The compacting behavior of various kinds of dry powder by tapping and vibration is studied. This behavior can be classified into two types: (1) The reduction rate of porosity decreases slowly with increasing number of repetition of tapping or vibration. (2) A major part of porosity disap-pears at very early period of tapping or vibration. The compacting behavior of the first type fits in well with Kawakita's equation
C=(
abP)/(1+
bP), where
C is relative reduction of volume,
a and
b are constants. In application of this equation, the pressure
P is replaced by tapping number
N or vibrating time
t. In the case of the second type, the observed data agree best with Nutting's equation (ε=φ
-1t_??_ƒ
β; ε, volumetric strain;, φ,
k, β, constants), if the stress ƒ is taken to be a constant and the observed time
t is replaced by tapping number
N or vibrating time
t.
