Calculating Bulk and Shear Modulus with Young's Modulus and Poisson's Ratio

[Simon Cook]

Hi Can any please help:

My course work is asking for me to calculate the Bulk modulus and shear modulus for a material that has a Young's modulus of elasticity of 250GN m-2 and a Poisson's ratio of 0.32?

Any help will be great thanks

Does your course work include an explanation of what Poisson's ratio represents?

Here is a refresher:

There's also an article on bulk modulus:

Great stuff thanks, I've already read through them, very interesting.
