Test Your Knowledge on Elastic Properties and Deformation of Rocks

• Elastic properties indicate deformational behavior of rocks.
• Deformation is expressed as percent strain.
• Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are used to evaluate deformational behavior of rocks.
• Young's modulus is the proportionality coefficient between compressive stress and axial strain.
• The slope of the stress-strain curve is the Young's modulus.
• Rock is anisotropic, not isotropic.
• The elastic properties of rock are not the same in all directions.
• Poisson's ratio is the extension that occurs perpendicular to the direction of loading.
• Poisson's ratio ranges from 0.10 to 0.50 for different rocks.
• Poisson's ratio varies depending on the direction of loading.
