Single crystal elastic constants and calculated aggregate properties

Abstract

Data on the elastic properties of single crystals have been collected from the literature published through mid-1964. The elastic properties of isotropic aggregates (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, bulk modulus, compressibility, velocity of shear waves, and the velocity of compressional waves) are calculated according to the schemes of Voigt and Reuss. The tables include about 1100 determinations.
