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 ...

When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

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. Path of potential cyclone behind Hurricane ...
