By measuring the velocity of various types of elastic waves in a solid it is possible to deduce Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. Longitudinal, extensional, and Rayleigh wave velocities were measured in ice, the first by resonance in a rod and the other two by a pulsing technique. The value obtained for Young's modulus was 9.8 × 10 10 dynes per cm. 2 and for Poisson's ratio was 0.33.
