A circular rod of length $$‘L’$$ and area of cross-section $$‘A’$$ has a modulus of elasticity $$‘E’$$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $$‘α’.$$ One end of the rod is fixed and other end is free. If the temperature of the rod is increased by $$\Delta T.$$ then

The number of independent elastic constants required to define the stress-strain relationship for an isotropic elastic solid is ________
