Poisson's ratio Definition and 41 Threads

I'm new to composite materials. I've studied mechanical engineering but I am actually usually involved in hydrodynamics (in which I've done my masters). However for a project we do fluid structure interaction with composites, and as these things go, you cannot get away with the 'black box'...

Hi everybody, Poisson's ratio determine that when applying force in one direction (let say z direction) it would cause a relative major strain at that direction, and also two additional strains at the two other directions (x & y). My question is, what is the explanation for the change in the...

I'm working through the equations and I have a lot of information missing. I have calculated the longitudinal strain to be 0.4mm (4/90) is the lateral strain directly proportional to the longitudinal strain? As I need to work out poisson's ratio in order to calculate Bulk modulus, then youngs...

I've never really heard of Young, Bulk, or Poisson's ratio before. I have done some research but I can't seem to find the relationship between the three in order to calculate Poisson's ratio. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks

Hello all I was hoping someone could help clarify Poissons ratio. I understand that it is Lateral Strain / Axial Strain but I wanted to understand it in the context of an example. The question is:- At 5kN compression load Original Depth = 30mm Change in Depth = 2mm Original Height = 100mm...

For an anisotropic material, is there any way to analytically determine the elements of the stiffness matrix? For orthotropic and isotropic materials, there are analytical expressions relating the stiffness matrix elements to the elastic modulus and poisson's ratio, but I do not believe this...

In poisson's ratio If we are stretching a a 3d rectangle L is hight A,B are the length and width Starching it in the L direction so that's the longitudinal strain we are making Why does the transverse strain in the "a " side equals the strain in "b" side So like that we can both use ∆a/a or...

Steel has a "Poisson ratio" μ of 0.29 (in my book of problems at least). Am I understanding the meaning of this ratio correctly: if a steel cylinder is stretched along its symmetry axis by a factor p (something like 1.01 or 0.99) then the radius will change by a factor 1-μ(p-1)? [So then the...

I have a conceptual misunderstanding it seems. Poisson's ratio is the ratio of elastic strain deformation of the transverse and longitudinal components. That being said, if I were to induce thermal stress (heating up) to a rod by keeping its ends (longitudinal component) rigid, would there be a...

Homework Statement Poisson's ratio v is the negative ratio of the transverse strain to the axial strain. For an incompressible (density doesn't change), homogeneous (everything is the same molecule), isotropic (it doesn't matter which direction you pull or push on it, it will act the same way)...
