We report shear modulus and elastoresistivity measurements on LaFeAsO single crystals[1] and study the critical nematic response. The results are compared with corresponding data on BaFe2As2. In both materials, softening of the shear modulus towards the structural phase transition is observed by means of the three-point-bending technique and similar Curie-Weiss-like divergence of the nematic susceptibilities deduced from both the shear modulus and the elastoresistivity are found. The data are analysed by means of a Landau approach. Comparison of the bare and the renormalized nematic susceptibilities provides the characteristic energy of the coupling between the lattice and the electronic degrees of freedom. Nematic susceptibilities obtained from shear modulus and elastoresistivity data are compared for LaFeAsO and BaFe2As2.
