What is Poisson's Ratio?

Poisson's ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the width per unit width of a material, to the change in its length per unit length, as a result of strain.

How to Calculate Poisson's Ratio?

Poisson's Ratio calculator uses Poisson's Ratio = -(Lateral Strain/Longitudinal Strain) to calculate the Poisson's Ratio, The Poisson's ratio formula is defined as a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading. Poisson's Ratio is denoted by 𝛎 symbol.

Here is how the Poisson's Ratio calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.3 = -((-0.06)/0.2).

FAQ

What is Poisson's Ratio?
The Poisson's ratio formula is defined as a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading and is represented as 𝛎 = -(εLlongitudinal) or Poisson's Ratio = -(Lateral Strain/Longitudinal Strain). Lateral Strain is the ratio of change in diameter to original diameter & The Longitudinal Strain is ratio of change in length to original length.
