Explanation:

Poisson's Ratio:

Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse strain to longitudinal strain.

The value of Poisson's ratio for different materials is as follows:

Material Poisson's Ratio
Aluminium 0.330
Brass 0.340
Bronze 0.350
Cast Iron 0.270
Concrete 0.200
Copper 0.355
Steel 0.288
Stainless Steel 0.305
Wrought Iron 0.278
