Question

Minimum and maximum values of Possion's ratio for a metal lies between

• A. $-\infty$ to $+\infty$
• B. $0$ to $1$
• C. $-\infty$ to $1$
• D. $0$ to $0.5$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Within the elastic limit, the ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain is called poisson’s ratio
Practically, for metal, $0<\sigma <0.5$
