Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the bulk modulus.
What is the bulk modulus?
The bulk modulus is a measurement of the ability of a substance to withstand changes in volume when under compression on all sides.
How to calculate bulk modulus?
To calculate bulk modulus you should use the following formula:
k = -v * (dp/dv)
where:
k = bulk modulus
p = pressure
v = initial volume of the substance
dv = change in volume
Why use bulk modulus?
The bulk modulus is sued in order to predict the compression, calculate the density and indirectly indicate the types of chemical bonding within a substance.
