If the forces acting on an object deform it in such a way that there is a change to the volume of that object, then we are talking about volumetric stress.
Volumetric Stress is equal to the following pressure:
If the load applied cause volume change then the strain is called volumetric strain ,When there is volumetric stress, volumetric deformation or volume strain changes the volume of the body. Mathematically, we define that change as:
Similar to Tensile Strain, Volumetric Strain also has no units.
Bulk's Modulus is a numerical constant that describes the elastic properties of a solid or fluid when it is under pressure on all surfaces. The applied pressure reduces the volume of the material.
Mathematically, Bulk's Modulus is defined as:
B = Bulk modulus in N/m^2 or Pa ΔP = Change of the pressure that applied on the material ΔV = Change of the volume of the material V = Initial volume of the material When the value is independent of pressure, this equation is basically a specific form of Hooke's law of elasticity.
