Velocity of bulk compressional waves
Input(s)
E: Young's Modulus \(\left(\mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{ft}^{2}\right)\)
\(\rho\): Density \(\left(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(\mu\): Poisson's Ratio (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(V_{b}\): Velocity of Bulk Compressional Waves \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{b}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\rho} * \frac{1-\mu}{(1+\mu) *(1-2 * \mu)}\right)^{0.5}
\]
