2. Poisson's ratio, n
eT
n is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in the direction of stretching force. Either transverse strain or longitudional strain is negative, is positive
F
simple eL tension test
Virtually all common materials undergo a transverse contraction when stretched in one direction and a transverse expansion when compressed. In an isotropic material the allowable (theoretical) range of Poisson's ratio is from -1.0 to +0.5, based on the theory of elasticity.

If equal tensile stresses are applied to each
of the other two pairs of faces of the cube than the total change in volume will be : V = 3 (1-2)
