This document discusses the relationships between different elastic constants - Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (G), and bulk modulus (K). It defines each constant: E is the ratio of stress to strain under tension or compression, G is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain, and K is the ratio of normal stress to volumetric strain. It notes that the units of measurement are the same for all elastic constants, and that derivations of the relationships between E, G, and K will follow.
