If you stretch an object, each side changes length by an amount due to strain,e, so the new length is L(1+e)..Each side normal to the stretch direction contracts by an amount equal to poisson ratio x the stretch.

If you calculate the change in volume V you get

dV = Ve(1-2u)

Ay u = 0.5 there is no volume change (incompressible); if it were greater than 0.5 volume would decrease which is unlikely. If it is 0, there is no lateral contraction and volume increases. If less than 0 the object will actually expand laterally rather than contract, and some special materials do this. Poisson ratio can be as low as -1, but most common materials lie between 0 and 0.5

Prove that poissons' ratio is 0.5?

since k=E/3(1-2n): where k=bulk modulus and n=poision's ratio it can be seen that value of poision's ratio can't be smaller than 0.5 in order to keep k be +ve.hence poision's ratio is 0.5


Where would you find a point with a ratio greater than 1?

How do you calculate compression ratio?

compression ratio = compressed size / uncompressed size the ratio should be between 1 and 0 (multiply with 100 to get the ratio in percent) a ratio greater than 1 means, the compressed size is actually greater than the uncompressed size a ratio just below 1 means bad compression the lower the ratio, the better the compression

Why can't the probability be greater then one?

A probability of 1 means something will definitely happen. There cannot be a greater certainty than that, so probability cannot be greater than 1.


What does it mean when the ratio is greater than 1?

When a ratio is greater than 1, it indicates that the quantity in the numerator is larger than the quantity in the denominator. This suggests a favorable or positive condition, depending on the context. For instance, in financial metrics, a ratio greater than 1 might indicate profitability or more assets than liabilities. In other contexts, it can signify a majority or dominance of one element over another.


How do you compare a ratio using division?

Divide the first ratio by the second. If the answer is less than 1 then the first ratio is smaller. If the answer is equal to 1 then the two ratios are equal. If the answer is greater than 1 then the first ratio is larger.
