Define Poisson’s Ratio?

Asked by Gust M


The ratio of lateral strain to the linear strain is a constant for a given material, when the material is stressed within the elastic limit. This ratio is Poisson’s ratio and it is generally denoted by 1/m or µ.

Poisson’s ratio 1/m = µ = linear starin/ lateral starin.
