bulk modulus
This term is a specialized technical expression used primarily in physics, materials science, and fluid mechanics. It describes the stiffness of a material when subjected to uniform pressure from all sides, distinguishing it from Young's modulus, which measures resistance to linear stretching or compression.
In practical application, a high bulk modulus indicates that a substance is nearly incompressible, such as water or steel, whereas a low bulk modulus is characteristic of gases, which can be easily compressed into smaller volumes.
Meanings
Examples
The bulk modulus of water is significantly higher than that of air.
What is the formula for calculating the bulk modulus of a liquid?
A high bulk modulus indicates that the material is highly incompressible.

The speed of sound in a fluid depends on its density and bulk modulus.
If the bulk modulus is too low, the structural integrity of the component may fail under hydrostatic pressure.
If the bulk modulus is too low, the structural integrity of the component may fail under hydrostatic pressure.
Let us assume the bulk modulus remains constant over this temperature range.
The researcher noted that the bulk modulus varied slightly with the concentration of the solute.
