Poisson’s ratio (μ)
The ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain for a given material, when the material is stressed within the elastic limit is its Poisson's ratio.
\(\rm{\mu = \frac{{Transverse\;strain}}{{Longitudinal \;strain}}}\)
Bulk Modulus of Elasticity
It is defined as the ratio of compressive to the volumetric strain of the body.
\(\rm{K\;\left( {{{Bulk}}\;{{Modulus}}\;{{of}}\;{{Elasticity}}} \right) = - \frac{{dP}}{{\left( {\frac{{dV}}{V}} \right)}}}\)
Modulus of Rigidity
It is also known as Shear Modulus is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain.
\(\rm{∴ G\left( {{{Modulus}}\;{{of}}\;{{Rigidity}}} \right) = \frac{{Shear\;stress}}{{Shear\;strain}} = \frac{\tau }{\phi }}\)
