Poisson's ratio (ν) = transverse strain / axial strain: ratio of shrinkage perpendicular to stress; typically 0.2-0.5.
Formel
Calculate Poisson\'s ratio: ν = (E-2G)/(2E)

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Can Poisson's ratio exceed 0.5?
Theoretically no for isotropic materials (>0.5 = unphysical volume expansion).
