Description

The classical equations of motion for elastically coupled, elastic proton and neutron fluids allow two T = 0 and two T = 1 propagating modes. The Lame coefficients evaluated empirically are seen to be very different from each other, yielding the large Poisson ratio of 0.485 for nuclear matter and the T = 0 and T = 1 giant-resonance energies, many of which have been seen experimentally
