Static and Dynamic Moduli of Elasticity

Modulus of Elasticity - ratio of stress in a body corresponding to strain.

*Three types of Elastic Constant

1. Young's Modulus (E)

2. Bulk Modulus

3. Shear Modulus
 Static Modulus of Elasticity Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity

Ratio of stress to strain under static condition Ratio of stress to strain under vibratory condition

Directly measured in a deformational experiment. Calculated from elastic wave velocity and density.

Often use in a wellbore stability Important structure parameters in road design.
