Elastic energy density of bulk compression via pressure ======================================================= Volumetric density of the elastic energy of a body that is under bulk compression is proportional to the square of the pressure in the body and inversely proportional to the bulk modulus of the body's material. **Conditions:** #. The body undergoes bulk compression. **Links:** #. Formula 77.5 on p. 393 of "General Course of Physics" (Obschiy kurs fiziki), vol. 1 by Sivukhin D.V.
