Velocity of compression waves
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{K}\): Bulk Modulus \((\mathrm{Pa})\)
G: Shear Modulus \((\mathrm{Pa})\)
\(\rho\): Density \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
\(V_{p}\): Velocity of Compression Waves \((\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(\left(\mathrm{K}+\frac{4}{3}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{G}}{\rho}\right)^{0.5}
\]
