If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

The Poisson’s ratio is predominantly applied by engineers to determine the precise amount of material that can be stretched or compressed before it reaches failure. This method is frequently used when ...

The team notices that zero Poisson’s ratio (ZPR) materials, which maintain constant transverse width under longitudinal strain, may address the interference issues in biaxial or multi-axial ...

In this video I take a detailed look at Poisson's ratio, a really important material property which helps describe how a material will deform under loading.
