Q. The Young's modulus (E), density of rock(ρ) and Poisson's ratio (σ) are used to determine Shear wave velocity(β) in a rock.

84. Which one of the following expression is correct?

Solution:



Solution:

Young's modulus : a measure of elasticity, equal to 

the ratio of the stress acting on a substance to the 

strain produced.


The relation between Young's modulus (E) and 

Lame's constants (λ, μ)


E= μ ((3 λ +2μ)/ (λ+ μ)) -------------------------(1)


Shear wave velocity (Vs) 

 

Vs= √ (μ/ρ) ----------------------------------------(2)


Poisson's ratio (σ): Is the ratio of transverse 

contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in 

the direction of stretching force.



σ=(λ/2(λ + μ)) ----------------------(3)


E= μ (( 3μ+2 λ)/ (λ+ μ))


   = μ ( ((2λ+2μ)/ (λ+μ)) + (λ /(λ+μ)) )



  = μ ( (2(λ+μ)/ (λ+μ)) + (λ /(λ+μ)) )


  = μ ( 2 + (λ /(λ+μ)) ) ( σ=(λ/2(λ+ μ))
 

  = μ ( 2 + (2λ /2(λ+μ)) ) 

 


  = μ ( 2 + 2(σ) )



E = 2 μ ( 1 + (σ) ) -----------------------(4)


μ = ( E / ( 2 (1+ σ) ) ) --------------------(5)


Vs (or) β = √ (μ/ρ) = √ (E / 2(1+σ ) ρ)



β= √ (E / 2ρ (1+σ ) ) -------------(6)




ρ= density and σ = Poisson's ratio

  1. Formula written wrongly please check it..

    E= μ (( 3λ+2μ )/ (λ+ μ))
