bulk modulus
[/bʌlk ˈmɑːdʒələs/]
nounpl: bulk moduli
módulo de compressibilidade
1. A measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression, defined as the ratio of stress to the fractional change in volume
The bulk modulus of water is approximately 2.2 GPa, indicating its resistance to compression.
O módulo de compressibilidade da água é aproximadamente 2,2 GPa, indicando sua resistência à compressão.
2. A fundamental elastic property used in materials science and physics to characterize how incompressible a substance is
Steel has a higher bulk modulus than aluminum, making it more resistant to volume change under pressure.
O aço tem um módulo de compressibilidade maior que o alumínio, tornando-o mais resistente à mudança de volume sob pressão.
This is a technical term primarily used in physics, engineering, and materials science. It is equally recognized and used in both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese academic and professional contexts. The term is not commonly used in everyday conversation and is specific to scientific and engineering discourse.
