If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Poisson's ratio describes the fundamental elasticity of any solid. Conventional materials contract laterally when stretched and Poisson's ratio expresses the ratio of transverse ...

The Poisson’s ratio is a fundamental mechanical property that relates the resulting lateral strain to applied axial strain. Although this value can theoretically be negative, it is positive for nearly ...

The year is 1981. The scene, the R&D department of a major aircraft company. “Uh, sir?” the young engineer stammers. “Sir? I am concerned about these stiffeners you want to bond onto the skins.” “What ...

In this video I take a detailed look at Poisson's ratio, a really important material property which helps describe how a material will deform under loading. Path of potential cyclone behind Hurricane ...
