Bulk modulus (K) measures resistance to uniform compression: K = -V(dP/dV), inverse of compressibility.
Steg-för-steg-guide
- 1Input initial volume, pressure change, volume change
- 2Calculate bulk modulus
- 3Results show material stiffness under hydrostatic pressure
Lösta exempel
Ingång
Water: K ≈ 2.2 GPa (compressible)
Resultat
Steel: K ≈ 160 GPa (incompressible)
Water ~70× more compressible
Vanliga misstag att undvika
- ✕Confusing with Young's modulus (uniaxial)
- ✕Not accounting for pressure effects on K
Vanliga frågor
How does bulk modulus relate to speed of sound?
Sound speed = √(K/ρ); higher K means faster sound.
