What (who) is P-wave modulus - definition


P-wave modulus         
There are two kinds of seismic body waves in solids, pressure waves (P-waves) and shear waves. In linear elasticity, the P-wave modulus M, also known as the longitudinal modulus, or the constrained modulus, is one of the elastic moduli available to describe isotropic homogeneous materials.
bulk modulus         
  • Interatomic potential and force
