| The percentage of coarse-grained materials in the soil affects the strength and compressibility of the wall. |
| Mach number is taken as the parameter to reflect the fluid compressibility. |
| Poor drainage in fens and the high compressibility and low strength of fen peat, make them unsuitable for any development. |
| The quantity that is usually tabulated is the reciprocal of k, and it is called the coefficient of compressibility. |
| Pilots were instructed to observe placarded dive speeds and angles and to watch for nose-heaviness and buffeting which were the first indications of compressibility. |
| There is, however, a clear limit to compressibility, as there is to divisibility of matter. |
