Poisson’s ratio Uniaxial loading Tensile/compressive stress in the x -direction produces tensile/compressive strain in the x -direction, with the stress and strain related through Young’s modulus E: ...

Understand the role of Poisson's ratio in adhesive testing, as it provides crucial insights into material behavior under stress.

In a paper published in National Science Review, a Chinese team of scientists present a generic strategy to alter the Poisson’s ratio of elastomer membranes. They develop flexible sensors ...

Doing the impossible with Poisson's ratio Aerospace engineer Dr. Susan Daggett serves up a slice of her composites industry history with a savory twist.

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 ...

An understanding of a material's microscopic architecture is important to improve its mechanical properties. Poisson's ratio, which celebrates its bicentenary this year, continues to provide a ...

Poisson's ratio describes the fundamental elasticity of any solid. Poisson's ratio has been a basic principle of engineering for more than 200 years as it allows engineers to identify how much a ...

Positive Poisson’s ratio 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 ...
