1. Torsion test showed aluminum to have shear modulus of 4.60x10^6psi. Under a tensile test, the same specimen showed a modulus of elasticity of 12.2x10^6psi. Find Poisson's Ratio.
2. Poisson's Ratio=lateral strain/axial strain
3. The ratio is a function of both strains. The equations for strain do not have any modulus values in them. I'm not asking for a total explanation, but more of a hint would help.
Thanks,
James
