Daily Concept Booster Civil Engineering : POISSON’S RATIO

            Poisson’s ratio (μ)

for homogeneous & Isotropic material elongation/contraction produced by any axial force in the direction of force is accompanied by contraction relongation in all transverse direction.
μ=[(lateral strain)/(Longitudental strain)]
Limit
(o≤μ≤0.5)

O → Cork
-1.5 → Rheotropic material (human tissue)

→ if perfectly plastic material by applying load strain perpendicular to applied load direction is very less (approx. zero) so Poisson’s ratio has zero magnitude.
→ Ideal plastic
(μ=(-ϵy)/ϵx=0 )
