Hey Guys, I am new to the forums but have seen you guys help a lot with pointing people in the right direction.
Here is my problem:
A Cylinder with a Volume of 8000m3 has a pressure of 80MPa, Bulk Modulus of 74 MPa. I need to calculate the Young s modulus and determine the material type.
So Far here is what i have:
Using Bulk Modulus, Volumetric Strain can be found:
Bulk Modulus K = Pressure / Volumetric Strain
Volumetric Strain = Pressure / Bulk Modulus K = 80 x 106 Pa / 74 x 106 Pa = 1.081
Volumetric Strain Can also be determined using this formula:
Volumetric Strain = Change in Volume / Volume
Then the Change in Volume can be found using the Volumetric Strain:
Change in Volume = Volumetric Strain x Volume = 1.081 x 8000m3 = 8648m3
My train of thought with calculating the youngs modulus is to use
E = Stress (Volume x Pressure) / Volumetric strain
So E = 592.05 GPa
Or by Using K
E = 3K(1-2v) --> 3x74MPa x (1-0.6) = 88.8MPa
But neither answer looks right. Have i overlooked something here?
Your input will be greatly appreciated.
