Magnetoelastic anomalies in the thermal expansion and Young modulus, as well as the {delta}E-effect in rare-earth vanadates RVO{sub 4} (R = Ho, Yb), are investigated experimentally and theoretically. A considerable softening of the Young modulus is observed for HoVO{sub 4} and YbVO{sub 4} at T < 70 K and T < 150 K, respectively; this effect is adequately described in the framework of the generalized susceptibility formalism. It is shown that the field dependences of the {delta}E-effect and their temperature variation in YbVO{sub 4} can also be described using this approach. To compare with experiment, the magnetoelastic contributions to the Young modulus of an isotropic polycrystal from various elastic modes have been averaged. For the Yb vanadate, considerable magnetoelastic anomalies in the thermal expansion along the tetragonal a and c axes have been discovered. The magnetoelastic contributions are used for determining completely symmetric magnetoelastic coefficients; the role of the completely symmetric quadrupole constant for magnetoelastic effects is analyzed.
