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)
E
E value — Variable used in the calculation

Steg-för-steg-guide

  1. 1Input material properties: Young's modulus and shear modulus
  2. 2Calculate Poisson's ratio: ν = (E-2G)/(2E)
  3. 3Results show lateral deformation under load

Lösta exempel

Ingång
Rubber: ν ≈ 0.5 (incompressible)
Resultat
Steel: ν ≈ 0.3 (some volume change)

Vanliga misstag att undvika

  • Confusing with strain/stress ratio
  • Not accounting for material nonlinearity

Vanliga frågor

Can Poisson's ratio exceed 0.5?

Theoretically no for isotropic materials (>0.5 = unphysical volume expansion).
