Velocity of compression waves

Input(s)

K\mathrm{K}: Bulk Modulus (Pa)(\mathrm{Pa})

G: Shear Modulus (Pa)(\mathrm{Pa})

ρ\rho: Density (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

Output(s)

VpV_{p}: Velocity of Compression Waves (m/s)(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})

Formula(s)

Vp=((K+43)Gρ)0.5\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(\left(\mathrm{K}+\frac{4}{3}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{G}}{\rho}\right)^{0.5}
