Question

The ratio between the linear stress to linear strain is called 

(a) Young’s modulus

(b) rigidity modulus

(C) Bulk modulus

(d) None of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear stress/linear stress = modulus of elasticity, lateral strain /linear strain = poisson ratio. Rohiet said: (Dec 8, 2013) Poisson ratio= lateral strain /linear strain. Ganesh said: (Aug 22, 2014) Because Poisson's ratio is the ratio between Lateral strain and linear strain.
