Solid Sound Velocity Modules

CALCULATOR MODULE : Velocity Of Sound In A Solid   ±

Calculate the velocity of sound in a solid.

The speed of sound in a solid is calculated from the solid density and bulk modulus.

`a = √(K / ρ) `

where :

a = speed of sound
K = bulk modulus
ρ = density

The bulk modulus can be calculated from the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio, or from the speed of sound in the solid.

`K = a^2 ρ `
`K = E / (3 (1 - 2 γ )) `

where :

E = elastic modulus
γ = Poisson ratio
