ELASTIC CONSTANT & THEIR RELATION SHIP
Elastic Constants
Different elastic constants are as
follows :
1.Young’s modulus or Modulus of
elasticity, E
2.Bulk modulus
3.Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus
4.Poisson’s ratio
Poisson’s ratio
With in the elastic limit, the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain or
linear strain is called Poisson's ratio

Relationship between Elastic Constants
1. The relationship between Young’s modulus (E), rigidity
modulus (G) and Poisson’s ratio (µ) is expressed as :
2.The relationship between Young’s modulus (E), bulk modulus
(K) and Poisson’s ratio (µ) is expressed as :
Definition offactor of safety
It is the ratio of the ultimate strength of a member or piece of
material (as in an airplane) to the actual working stress or the
maximum permissible stress when in use
