Relation between Young Modulus, Bulk Modulus, Modulus of Rigidity and Poisson’s Ratio

Today we will learn about relation between Young Modulus, Bulk Modulus, and Modulus of Rigidity. All of these are elastic constant which is used to design any machinery part or structure. We have discussed about these three constants in our last post and know all of them are the ratio of stress to strain in different conditions. Each elastic constant can be represented by two or more of these constants.

This article provides you the all of these relations.

Relation between Young Modulus and Bulk Modulus:

Where:

E = Young Modulus of Elasticity

K = Bulk Modulus of Elasticity

μ = Poisson’s Ratio

Relation between Young Modulus and Modulus of Rigidity:

Where: 

E = Young Modulus of Elasticity

G = Modulus of Rigidity

μ = Poisson’s Ratio

Relation between Bulk Modulus and Modulus of Rigidity:

Where:

K = Bulk Modulus

G = Modulus of Rigidity

μ = Poisson’s Ratio

Relation between Young Modulus, Bulk Modulus and Modulus of Rigidity:

Where

E = Young Modulus of Elasticity

G = Modulus of Rigidity

K = Bulk Modulus

These are all the most useful relations between all elastic constant which are used to solve an engineering problem related to them.
