| Sometimes referred to as the incompressibility, the bulk modulus is a measure of the ability of a substance to withstand changes in volume when under compression on all sides. |
| In particular, the high deformations and near incompressibility lead to difficulties with FEA calculations. |
| Due to the assumed incompressibility, only isochoric deformations are allowed for the introduced model. |
| In sharp contrast, relative incompressibility is a characteristic of the liquid state. |
| Other than fluid incompressibility and cyclic averaging, no assumptions are required! |
| Evidence of compressibility of gases and incompressibility of liquids. |
