Bulk Modulus Calculator

Bulk Modulus Equation

$$ K = - \frac{p}{\Delta V / V_0} $$
where:

K = Bulk Modulus (Pa or N/m²)

p = Applied Pressure (Pa or N/m²)

ΔV/V₀ = Fractional Change in Volume (dimensionless)

Equation Assumptions

The material behaves linearly and elastically.
Deformations are small (for large strains the linear relationship between shear stress and strain may not hold).
Material is homogeneous.
The material is isotropic.
