If a piece of material neither expands nor contracts in volume when subjected to stress, then the Poisson’s ratio must be:
A) 0B) 0.25C) 0.5D) 1 According to IS 456:2000, Clause 6.2, Poisson’s ratio is defined as the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain. For a material that does not change in volume under stress, the transverse and axial strains must be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. Therefore, the Poisson’s ratio for such…
