Poisson's Ratio

Poisson’s Ratio

one of the physical quantities characterizing an elastic solid. It is equal to the ratio of the absolute value of the lateral strain to the absolute value of the longitudinal strain and was introduced by S. D. Poisson.

Suppose a rectangular parallelepiped is stretched in the direction of the x-axis (Figure 1). The parallelepiped undergoes an elongation of ∈_x = (a₁ – a)/a > 0 along this axis and a contraction of ∈y = (b₁ – b)/b < 0 and ∈z = (c₁ — c)/c < 0 along the perpendicular y-axis and z-axis, respectively—in other words, its lateral cross section shrinks. Poisson’s ratio is equal to v_yx = ǀ∈y ǀ/ǀ∈x ǀor v_zx = ǀ∈zǀ/ǀcǀ.

In the case of an isotropic solid, Poisson’s ratio remains invariant if tension is replaced by compression or if the strain axes are changed—that is, v_xy = ν_yx = v_zx = v. Poisson’s ratio for anisotropic bodies is a function of the direction of the axes—that is, ν_xy ↑ v_yx ↑ v_zx. Poisson’s ratio, together with one of the moduli of elasticity, determines all the elastic properties of an isotropic solid. For most metals, Poisson’s ratio is close to 0.3.

In a material under tension or compression, the absolute value of the ratio of transverse strain to the corresponding longitudinal strain.
