What Are Elastic Constants?

Elastic constants are the parameters expressing the relation between the stress and the strain on the materials within the stress range that the materials exhibit elastic behavior.

What are 4 elastic constants?

Elastic Constants
  • Young's modulus.
  • Bulk modulus.
  • Rigidity modulus.
  • Poisson's ratio.

What are the different types of elastic constants?

The three types of elastic constants are:
  • Modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus (E),
  • Bulk modulus (K) and.
  • Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus (M, C or G).
