Conversion: Elastic Parameters, Isotropic Material

The document contains a table relating the elastic moduli of isotropic materials including Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (μ), Lame's constant (λ), bulk modulus (k), and Poisson's ratio (ν). It shows the mathematical relationships between each parameter when two are given. Examples are worked through giving the calculated values of other moduli when E, ν or other parameters are specified.
