The modulus of elasticity (E) is a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or compress a material. The modulus of rigidity (N) is a measure of how difficult it is to shear a material. The bulk modulus (K) is a measure of how difficult it
is to compress a material in all directions. The Poisson ratio (μ) is a measure of how much a material stretches in the transverse direction when it is stretched in the longitudinal direction.
The following relationships hold good for a linear elastic material:
