Download Solution PDFExplanation:
The magnitude of the ratio of transverse strain to longitudinal strain is known as Poisson's ratio. It’s values for most of the materials fall between 0.0 and 0.5. A perfectly incompressible material has a value of 0.5.
The Poisson’s ratio for different materials is listed below:
|
Material |
Poisson Ratio |
|
Stainless Steel |
0.3 - 0.31 |
|
Steel |
0.25 - 0.33 |
|
Cork |
0.0 |
|
Rubber |
0.5 |
|
Cast iron |
0.21-0.26 |
|
Concrete |
0.1-0.2 |
