Bulk modulus is defined as the proportion of volumetric stress related to the volumetric strain for any material. In much simpler words, the bulk modulus is nothing but a numerical constant that is used to measure and describe the elastic properties of a solid or a fluid when pressure is applied. In this article, we will discuss…
Young’s Modulus is the ability of any material to resist the change along its length. Bulk Modulus is the ability of any material to resist the change in its volume. The relation between Young’s Modulus and Bulk Modulus can be mathematically expressed as – Young’s Modulus And Bulk Modulus relation Where, K is the…
Stress which is induced in a body due to change in the temperature is known as thermal stress and the corresponding strain is called thermal strain. Thermal stress induces in a body when the temperature of the body is raised or lowered and the body is not allowed to expand or contract freely. No stress…
Modulus of elasticity () and the modulus of rigidity () are related by the following equation: Here, represents a number called Poisson’s ratio given to the particular material. When the material is being stretched in one direction, it gets shortened in a perpendicular direction. In the direction that the material becomes elongated, the axial strain () is defined as the fractional…
Before getting to know what’s strength of material lets know what really material is? Let us consider steel. Steel is a Material. Many things are made out of steel among which rods are most important in the field of construction which offer a good resistance to pulling load/ tensile load Material is generally a substance…
