An understanding of a material's microscopic architecture is important to improve its mechanical properties. Poisson's ratio, which celebrates its bicentenary this year, continues to provide a good ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Poisson's ratio describes the fundamental elasticity of any solid. Conventional materials contract laterally when stretched and Poisson's ratio expresses the ratio of transverse ...

The Poisson’s ratio is a fundamental mechanical property that relates the resulting lateral strain to applied axial strain. Although this value can theoretically be negative, it is positive for nearly ...

The year is 1981. The scene, the R&D department of a major aircraft company. “Uh, sir?” the young engineer stammers. “Sir? I am concerned about these stiffeners you want to bond onto the skins.” “What ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Expressions are given for the maximum and minimum values of Poisson's ratio ν for materials with cubic symmetry. Values less than -1 occur if ...

This study is led by Prof. Hao Wu (Flexible Electronics Research Center, State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, ...

Sign up to receive important email messages about the Imagine RIT Festival this year, and future years, too (save-the-date announcement, event announcements, and post ...

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 ...

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 ...
