Question

Poisson's ratio is defined as the ratio of.

• A. longitudinal strain to lateral strain
• B. original length to final length
• C. lateral strain to longitudinal strain
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C. lateral strain to longitudinal strain

Poisson's ratio is the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain. It is represented by the equation v =- epsilon |ateral / Elongitudinal.
