If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

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, ...

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 ...
