The modulus of elasticity for a ceramic material having 6.0 vol% porosity is 303 GPa. (a) Calculate the modulus of elasticity (in GPa) for the nonporous material.

modulus of elasticity for the nonporous material is 340.74 GPa

Explanation:

given data

porosity = 303 GPa

modulus of elasticity = 6.0

solution

we get here modulus of elasticity for the nonporous material Eo that is

E = Eo (1 - 1.9P + 0.9P²) ... 1

put here value and we get Eo

303 = Eo (1 - 1.9 (0.06) + 0.9 (0.06) ²)

solve it we get

Eo = 340.74 GPa
