When calculating the velocity <strong>of</strong> a longitudinal wave, Young's Modulus and<br />

Poisson's Ratio are commonly used.<br />

When calculating the velocity <strong>of</strong> a shear wave, the shear modulus is used. It<br />

is <strong>of</strong>ten most convenient to make the calculations using<br />

Lame's Constants, which are derived from Young's Modulus and Poisson's<br />

Ratio.
