Bulk modulus of elasticity in Elastic Constants Formulas

The Bulk modulus of elasticity is a measure of the ability of a substance to withstand changes in volume when under compression on all sides. And is denoted by K_B. Bulk modulus of elasticity is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Bulk modulus of elasticity is always positive. Typically, the value of Bulk modulus of elasticity is greater than 0.
