Abstract
A density-dependent nuclear mass formula is constructed with consideration for cluster formation at low densities and causality at high densities. This formula combined with the nuclear elasticity is used to calculate the energies of isoscalar EO giant resonances. The values of the parameters in the formula are determined from comparison with experimental data on these resonance energies and the ground· state masses and sizes. This formula is approximately equal to the Weizsacker-Bethe formula as far as the ground-state masses are concerned, and gives a nuclear incompressibility modulus which is considerably smaller than that obtained without the nuclear elasticity.
