Hello Vaclav,

Thank you for your comments. I can understand it. You know, from the mechanical concept, the shear modulus (G) can be represented by E/2*(1+v) for homogeneous isotropic materials, here E is young modulus, v is poisson ratio. So, can we decide G_over_E is equal to 1/2*(1+v) directly? Can we use 1/2*(1+v) to calculate kt/kn?
Thank you so much.

Best
Liqing
