Explain Poisson ratio.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of the Poisson ratio, which is a measure of the relationship between the longitudinal strain and the lateral strain in a material when it is deformed under stress.
Answer
Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain.
Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain when a material is stretched.
Answer for screen readers
Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain when a material is stretched.
More Information
Poisson's ratio is a dimensionless material property and is typically used in mechanical and civil engineering to describe material behavior under mechanical load.
Tips
Ensure to distinguish between lateral (transverse) and longitudinal strains when discussing Poisson's ratio.
