Lecture 8 – Viscoelasticity andDeformation Poisson’s Ratio, μ • When a material is compressed in one direction, it usually tends to expand in the other two directions perpendicular to the direction of compression • The Poisson ratio is the ratio of the fraction (or percent) of expansion divided by the fraction (or percent) of compression, for small values of these changes.
