Formula: ΔV/V = p / B
Where:
ΔV/V = Fractional change in volume
p = Hydraulic pressure (Pa)
B = Bulk modulus of the material (N/m²)
Where:
ΔV/V = Fractional change in volume
p = Hydraulic pressure (Pa)
B = Bulk modulus of the material (N/m²)
Fractional change in volume: 2.73 ×10⁻⁵
Explanation
This simulation demonstrates how a glass slab's volume changes under hydraulic pressure according to the bulk modulus formula.
The bulk modulus (B) measures a material's resistance to uniform compression. Higher bulk modulus means the material is less compressible.
The original glass slab is shown in wireframe, while the compressed volume is shown in solid color. The exaggerated deformation helps visualize the tiny actual volume changes that occur in real materials.
