Bulk Modulus given Bulk Stress and Strain Calculator

Calculate Bulk Modulus





Formula

The formula to calculate Bulk Modulus is:

\[ K = \frac{B_{\text{stress}}}{B_{\text{strain}}} \]

Definition

The Bulk Modulus is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume. Bulk Stress is the force acting on the body from all directions causing change in its area. Bulk Strain is the ratio of the change in the volume of a body that occurs when the body is placed under pressure, to the original volume of the body.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ K = \frac{10564}{42.4} \approx 249.150943396226 \]

The Bulk Modulus is approximately 249.150943396226 Pascal.
