It is argued that since statistical mechanics has developed in two ways, the dynamical approach of Boltzmann and the equilibrium approach of Gibbs, both should be valuable in rubber elasticity. It is shown that this is indeed the case, and the generality of these approaches allows one to study the problem in greater depth than hitherto. In particular, damping terms in the elastic behaviour of rubber can be calculated, and also the effect of entanglements and excluded volume on the equation of state. It is noticeable that although the calculated equations of state are quite complex, they do not fit into a simple pattern of invariants. The future for these developments is briefly discussed.

A new isothermal equation of state (EOS) for solids is derived by starting from the theory of lattice potential and using an analytical function for the volume dependence of the short-range force constant. A critical analysis of the isothermal EOSs: Murnaghan EOS, Vinet EOS, and the new EOS derived here, is presented by investigating the pressure-volume data for rare gas solids, metals and minerals. It is found that the results obtained from the new EOS are in good accordance with the corresponding values obtained from the Vinet EOS and with experimental data for all the solids up to very large compressions. On the other hand, the Murnaghan EOS is less successful at high pressure in most cases.

We have used a method for determining volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter in the Lindemann law to study the pressure dependence of melting temperatures in case of 10 metals viz. Cu, Mg, Pb, Al, In, Cd, Zn, Au, Ag and Mn. The reciprocal gamma relationship has been used to estimate the values of Grüneisen parameters at different volumes. The results for melting temperatures of metals at high pressures obtained in this study using the Lindemann law of melting are compared with the available experimental data and also with the values calculated from the instability model based on a thermal equation of state. The analytical model used in this study is much simpler than the accurate DFT calculations and molecular dynamics.
