Overview
In materials science, elastic constants describe how a material deforms under stress. For isotropic materials, any two constants can be used to find the others.

Pro Tips
Young's Modulus (E) measures tensile elasticity.
Poisson's Ratio (ν) is the ratio of transverse to axial strain.
Shear Modulus (G) measures the response to shear stress.
Bulk Modulus (K) measures the response to uniform compression.

Fun Facts
"Steel has a Young's Modulus of about 200 GPa and a Poisson's Ratio of roughly 0.3."
"Rubber is nearly incompressible, so its Poisson's Ratio is close to 0.5."
"The Shear Modulus is also known as the Modulus of Rigidity."
