The Poisson’s ratio is a fundamental mechanical property that relates the resulting lateral strain to applied axial strain. Although this value can theoretically be negative, it is positive for nearly ...

(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 ...

The year is 1981. The scene, the R&D department of a major aircraft company. “Uh, sir?” the young engineer stammers. “Sir? I am concerned about these stiffeners you want to bond onto the skins.” “What ...

A study compared various artifical intelligence techniques for determining Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus. These techniques provide an alternative, less costly method for determining mechanical ...
