Question

Choose the correct relationship between Young's modulus $\left(Y\right)$, shear modulus $\left(G\right)$ and Poisson's ratio $\left(\mu \right)$.

• A. $Y=2G(1-2\mu )$
• B. $Y=2G(1-\mu )$
• C. $Y=2G(1+2\mu )$
• D. $Y=2G(1+\mu )$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $Y=2G(1+\mu )$

The correct relationship between Young's modulus $\left(Y\right)$, shear modulus $\left(G\right)$ and Poisson's ratio $\left(\mu \right)$ is $Y=2G(1+\mu )$
