(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 ...

When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

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, ...

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 ...

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. Novak Djokovic makes two-word admission ...
