Both youngs Modulus and shear Modulus are required as linear strain will be
calculated by young modulus. Change in diameter can be calculated from
Poissons ratio which depends on youngs modulus and shear modulus.

y + 2y + y = 0 D2 + 2D + 1 = 0

i.e. (D + 1) = 0,
D = 1, 1
So solution will be y= ( C1 + C2 ) e x
Now given, y=0 at x=0 and y=0 at x=1
So we get C1 = C2 = 0
y = constant
y ( 0.5) = 0
