Poisson's Ratio

Poisson's Ratio

                 "The ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain is constant for a given material, when a material is stressed with in the elastic limit. This ratio is called 'Poisson's ratio' and it is generally denoted by 'new' "

               

Poisson's Ratio

              Poisson's Ratio gives a relationship between the lateral strain and the axial strain.
