Yes, if the material is very thin in ther axis of compression. If it is not thin, as in compressing a long cyclinder, you do not need to know bulk modulus.

If very thin it won't make a lot of difference if it a metal with usual poisson ratio of about 0.25, but will make difference for possion ratio higher, especially approaching 0.5, as in rubber.

In the case of the long cyclinder stress = modulus xstrain

In the case of the thin material stress = modulus x strain times the quantity

(1-u)/ ((1+u)(1-2u)) where u = poisson ratio; the relation to bulk modulus for u is

u =1/2 - E/6B where B = bulk modulus and E = elastic modulus

If a material has a young's modulus of 220GPa and a poisson's ratio of 0.29 what is its bulk modulus?

The bulk modulus (K) is a material's resistance to uniform compression from all directions. If you have Young's Modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν), the relationship is: K = E/(3*(1-2ν)) For E = 220 GPa and ν = 0.29, K = 174.603 GPa


What is the benefits of knowing Young's Modulus for concrete?

Young's modulus describes the relationship between stress (sigma) and strain (epsilon) in a material that obeys Hooke's law. Concrete is such a material and knowing this property allows one to plan and design the use of concrete as a building material safely.


What does it mean if you have a high value for youngs modulus 8333.3 compared to a low value 1200?

Young's modulus is stress/strain. So if the modulus is high, it means that the stress value is greater compare to that of the material where the modulus is low. or in other words, the strain is very less compared to that of the material having low Young's modulus. So it tells that, if a material has high Young's modulus, the material requires more load for deformation of shape (within elastic limit).


Measurement of yong's modulus for rectangular bar material?

In order to have your question answered, you would have to state which bar material. Young's Modulus is different and specific to the material to which it is applied. It will be different for steel than for iron or aluminum.

What are the different types of modulus elasticity?

there are different types of modulus it depends on what types of stress is acting on the material if its direct stress then then there is modulus of elasticity,if tis shear stress then its modulus of rigidity and when its volumetric stress it is bulk modulus and so on


What will be the young's modulus if i use two wires both made of copper but they are different in length and diameter?

Young's modulus or modulus of elasticity is a property of the material. As in both the wires we have copper material the young's modulus will be the same. It does not get altered with length or area of cross section.


How fast does sound travel through materials?

Every material has its elastic modulus, and the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the elastic modulus of that material.


Is young's modulus storage modulus?

The Young modulus and storage modulus measure two different things and use different formulas. A storage modulus measures the stored energy in a vibrating elastic material. The Young modulus measures the stress to in still elastic, and it is an elastic modulus.


What are the applications of young's modulus in real life situations?

Relationship between the shear stress and angle of shear?

Shear Stress divided by the Angle of Shear is equals to Shear Stress divided by Shear Strain which is also equals to a constant value known as the Shear Modulus. Shear Modulus is determined by the material of the object.
