- Volumetric and lateral strain
💡 Hint: Focus on directionality of strain when a load is applied.
Question 2
True or False: A Poisson's Ratio of 0.4 indicates that a material is highly compressible.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about how materials behave when subjected to stress.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A metal rod is subjected to a tensile load creating a longitudinal strain of 0.005. If the Poisson's Ratio for the material is 0.35, what is the calculated lateral strain?
💡 Hint: Use the definition of Poisson's Ratio in your calculations.
Question 2
Evaluate the implications if a construction material shows a Poisson's Ratio of 0.55. Discuss the possible issues in practical applications.
💡 Hint: Reflect on practical engineering principles and guidelines.
