  2. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law: . Young's modulus E describes the material's strain response to uniaxial stress in the direction of this stress (like pulling on the ends of a wire or putting a weight on top of a column, with the wire getting longer and the column losing height),

  3. Lamé parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamé_parameters

    Other names are sometimes employed for one or both parameters, depending on context. For example, the parameter μ is referred to in fluid dynamics as the dynamic viscosity of a fluid (not expressed in the same units); whereas in the context of elasticity, μ is called the shear modulus, [2]: p.333 and is sometimes denoted by G instead of μ.

  4. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

    Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

  5. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    [1] [2] Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include C {\displaystyle \mathbf {C} } and Y {\displaystyle \mathbf {Y} } . The defining equation can be written as

  6. Gassmann's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassmann's_equation

    Gassmann's equations are a set of two equations describing the isotropic elastic constants of an ensemble consisting of an isotropic, homogeneous porous medium with a fully connected pore space, saturated by a compressible fluid at pressure equilibrium.

  7. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    Different resonant frequencies can be excited dependent on the position of the support wires, the mechanical impulse and the microphone. The two most important resonant frequencies are the flexural which is controlled by the Young's modulus of the sample and the torsional which is controlled by the shear modulus for isotropic materials.

  8. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    The shear modulus or modulus of rigidity (G or Lamé second parameter) describes an object's tendency to shear (the deformation of shape at constant volume) when acted upon by opposing forces; it is defined as shear stress over shear strain. The shear modulus is part of the derivation of viscosity.

  9. Dynamic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_modulus

    The stress relaxation modulus () is the ratio of the stress remaining at time after a step strain was applied at time =: = (), which is the time-dependent generalization of Hooke's law . For visco-elastic solids, G ( t ) {\displaystyle G\left(t\right)} converges to the equilibrium shear modulus [ 4 ] G {\displaystyle G} :
