 Many times when doing an analysis of a (novel) material, you have to validate your model against values from real experiments. One of those values is the bulk modulus of a material which we are going to calculate for bulk silicon. Many times when doing an analysis of a (novel) material, you have to validate your model against values from real experiments.
