Control of sound waves is mostly accomplished through the bulk modulus " ? ", mass density " ? " and chirality.
22.
The bulk modulus of superhard phase nanotubes is 462 to 546 GPa, even higher than that of diamond ( 420 GPa for single diamond crystal ).
23.
For example, some alkali and noble metals ( Pd, Ag ) have anomalously high ratio of the bulk modulus to the Vickers of Brinell hardness.
24.
Bulk modulus is still used as a preliminary measure of a material as superhard but it is now known that other properties must be taken into account.
25.
By recording the piston displacement required in order to achieve a given pressure, Adams could find the volume change of the rocks and their bulk modulus.
26.
With constant density and bulk modulus as constituents of the medium, the refractive index is expressed as n 2 = " ? " / ?.
27.
It has been demonstrated mathematically that the 2D Maxwell equations with normal incidence apply to 2D vector fluid velocity, fluid mass density and the fluid bulk modulus.
28.
Americium is relatively soft and easily deformable and has a significantly lower bulk modulus than the actinides before it : Th, Pa, U, Np and Pu.
29.
In contrast to bulk modulus, shear modulus measures the resistance to shape change at a constant volume, taking into account the crystalline plane and direction of shear.
30.
The polytropic index has been shown to be equivalent to the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus where its relation to the Murnaghan equation of state has also been demonstrated.
