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 ...

True love is like a kick in the head. No, really. It's not just that it comes out of nowhere, knocks you sideways, and changes your life forever. It's statistically like a kick in the head. Most ...

An understanding of a material's microscopic architecture is important to improve its mechanical properties. Poisson's ratio, which celebrates its bicentenary this year, continues to provide a good ...
