The ratio of lateral strain to linear strain is termed as the___________________?
Correct answer: A. Poisson's ratio
- A. Poisson's ratio
- B. Bulk modulus
- C. Modulus of elasticity
- D. Shear modulus
Explanation
Poisson’s ratio is defined as the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal or linear strain, usually taken with a sign convention that makes the reported value positive for ordinary materials. Bulk modulus and shear modulus instead relate stress to volumetric and angular strain, respectively.
