By the moment method the elastic moduli of anharmonic face and body-centere
d cubic crystals are considered. The analytic expressions for the elastic m
oduli as the Young's modulus E, the bulk modulus K, the rigidity modulus G
are obtained. The obtained results are applied to AE, Al, Fe, W, Nb metalli
c crystals and compared with the experimental data. (C) 1999 Published by E
