A material which has a Young’s modulus of elasticity of 250 GN m–2 and
a poisons ratio of 0.32, calculate:
(a) the bulk modulus of the material
(b) the shear modulus of the material.
Homework Equations
E=3(1−2ν)K
3. The Attempt at a Solution
a)
E = 3(1−2ν)K
K = E / 3(1-2*0.32)
K = 250/(3(1-2*0.32)
250 / K = 1.08
bulk modulus, K = 231.48
Are my working for A correct? I'm stuck with working out the shear modulus, please can anyone help?
You're still trying to figure out the units?oxon88 said:can anyone help me with this?
Did you not read you own post #4?oxon88 said:I believe the unit for bulk modulus will be pascals.
I'm still trying to get the shear modulus.
The bulk modulus of a material is a measure of its resistance to compression, while the shear modulus is a measure of its resistance to shear or tangential stress.
Bulk and shear modulus are related through the Poisson's ratio, which describes the ratio of transverse to axial strain under stress. The relationship can be expressed as: E = 3K(1-2v), where E is the Young's modulus, K is the bulk modulus, and v is the Poisson's ratio.
Both bulk and shear modulus are typically measured in units of pressure, such as pascals (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
Bulk modulus is a measure of a material's stiffness or rigidity, while shear modulus is a measure of its resistance to deformation. These properties can affect the material's ability to withstand external forces and its overall strength and durability.
Bulk and shear modulus can be calculated through various methods, such as using the stress-strain relationship for a given material or performing experiments to measure the material's response to different types of stress. These values can also be found in material data sheets or handbooks.
