A review of the relationship between elastic moduli and interatomic force constants precedes the description of a method for determining the composition dependence of single crystal elastic moduli of disordered alloys having the face-centered cubic structure. The method treats the alloy as a virtual crystal, characterized by an effective pair potential between atoms. Results of calculations are presented using experimental data on Cu-rich Cu-Al alloys.
