(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 ...

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 ...
