The Poisson's ratio is a measure of the Poisson effect, the phenomenon in which a material tends to expand or contract in directions perpendicular to the direction of tension or compression. Give a physical explanation for the range of the Poisson's ratio: ⇒ ve [-1, 1/2] What can be expected for a uniaxial tensile test when the Poisson's ratio equals -1, 0 or 0.5?
