Ever wondered why materials get thinner when stretched? 🤔
That’s Poisson’s Ratio in action!
When a material is pulled in one direction (longitudinal strain), it contracts in the perpendicular directions (lateral strain). This relationship defines how materials deform under stress — a fundamental concept in mechanics, materials science, and engineering.
đź“Ś Formula:
ν = – (Lateral Strain / Longitudinal Strain)
Understanding this helps in designing everything from bridges to biomedical devices.
