Question
The theoretical value of Poisson's ratio lies between:(a) $-1$ to $\frac{1}{2}$(b) $-\frac{3}{4}$ to $-\frac{1}{2}$(c) $-\frac{1}{2}$ to 1(d) 1 to 2
Step 1
Poisson's ratio, denoted by the Greek letter sigma (σ), is a measure of the deformation of a material when it is subjected to stress. It is defined as the ratio of the lateral strain (perpendicular to the applied load) to the axial strain (in the direction of the Show more…
