Relation between E, G and Poisson's Ratio

The definite relationship between Young's modulus, Shear modulus & Poissons ratio  is asked many a times in our old question papers though for two marks only.

So I thought I will put up the answer here:

Let young's modulus = E, Shear modulus = G, Bulk Modulus = K and

poisson's ratio = v

E = 3K(1-2v)

E = 2G(1+v)

the above relationship is taken from answers.com. Please do refer to them for further info.

Don't forget to grab a copy of Material Science and Engineering book, which is essential for preparing for AMIE, Material Science.

with warm regards
