Note on the Probable Values of the Elastic Constants of the Zinc Crystal

Abstract

In consideration of the compressibility data in the preceding paper by Bridgman a somewhat different interpretation is given to the measurements of Hanson. A satisfactory set of constants for the zinc crystal may be based on Bridgman's measurements and on those obtained by Hanson on one of his lots of zinc. These are: $S_{11}=7.70\mathrm{}$, $S_{12}=0.83\mathrm{}$, $S_{13}=-6.93\mathrm{}$, $S_{33}=27.66\mathrm{}$, $S_{44}=24.40\mathrm{}$, all ×${10}^{-13\mathrm{}}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^2$/dyne.
