Problem

When a specimen is stretched longitudinally, the relative decrease in its transverse dimensions −ε\varepsilon′ is proportional to the relative elongation of the specimen ε\varepsilon = −∆l. The ratio ν\nu = −ε\varepsilon′/ε\varepsilon is called the Poisson's ratio ν\nu. Determine the l Poisson's ratio for the sample corresponding to the model from Problem 3.6.12.
