Poisson’s ratio? When a sample of material is stretched in one direction it tends to get thinner in the lateral direction – and if a sample is compressed in one direction it tends to get thicker in the lateral direction. Poisson’s ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the width per unit …
Different types of materials are regularly being used in a wide variety of applications. Materials are chosen based on the properties they offer. There are mainly 3 (three) types of properties materials usually possess. Currently intensive research is underway to characterize the different types of materials properties. Because almost, all the new things have been …
