• "id" is the material ID corresponding to a subset (or all) of the generated material points.
• "type" is either "LinearElastic2D" or "LinearElastic3D".
• "density" is material density.
• "youngs_modulus" is the constant elastic parameter Young's modulus.
• "poisson_ratio" is the constant elastic parameter Poisson's ratio.

Associated shear and pressure wave velocities are defined via the relationships given in [1].
