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 ...

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 ...

Poisson’s ratio, ν, is a fundamental mechanical parameter that describes the ratio of the lateral to the longitudinal strain of a material under mechanical load. The precise value of the Poisson’s ...

(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 ...

When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

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 ...

This study is led by Prof. Hao Wu (Flexible Electronics Research Center, State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, ...

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. Novak Djokovic makes two-word admission ...
