Linked from

The 16 pages that link to Poisson's ratio, each with the reason it gives.

• Strain (mechanics)Related: It relates lateral contraction to axial extension.

• Contact mechanicsRelated: It affects the effective stiffness of two bodies pressed together.

• Young's modulusRelated: It describes the sideways deformation that accompanies the axial strain measured in a modulus test.

• Thermal shockRelated: It influences the stress state produced by constrained thermal expansion.

• Elastic modulusRelated: It links axial deformation to lateral contraction and relates common elastic constants.

• Elasticity (physics)Related: It describes the sideways contraction that accompanies elastic stretching.

• Shear modulusRelated: It links shear modulus to Young's and bulk moduli in isotropic materials.

• Seismic velocityRelated: It relates compressional and shear velocities in isotropic elastic materials.

• Strength of materialsRelated: It captures lateral deformation accompanying axial stretching or compression.

• Bulk modulusRelated: It helps connect bulk modulus to other elastic constants in isotropic solids.

• Strain gaugeRelated: Lateral contraction or expansion also strains the gauge grid and affects its response.

• Rayleigh waveRelated: It influences the relation between Rayleigh-wave speed and shear-wave speed.

• Siméon Denis PoissonBroader topic: This elasticity constant carries Poisson’s name through his work on material deformation.

• Auxetic materialsNarrower topic: Its negative value defines auxetic behavior.

• Birch's lawCompared with: It offers another elastic diagnostic that can vary even when density–velocity trends resemble Birch's law.

• Mechanical & acoustical propertiesBroader topic: It predicts lateral dimensional changes in loaded components.
