Question

Poisson's ratio for aluminum is -

• A. 0.33
• B. 3.7
• C. 1.3
• D. 2.5

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 0.33

Poisson's ratio for aluminum is 0.31-0.34. It is the ratio of transverse strain to longitudinal strain and ranges from 0.0 to 0.5 for most materials. A value of 0.5 indicates a perfectly incompressible material.
