For a linear elastic and isotropic material, the correct relationship among Young’s modulus of elasticity (E), Poisson’s ratio (ν), and shear modulus (G) is

  1. G = E / 2(1+ν)
  2. G = E / (1+2ν)
  3. E = G / 2(1+ν)
  4. E = G / (1+2ν)

Correct answer: G = E / 2(1+ν)

Solution

The relationship G = E / 2(1+ν) is derived from the definitions of Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio for isotropic materials, showing how these properties interrelate under linear elastic behavior.
