Chapter 2 Problem 2.5

Question

Poissons ratio n is a material property and is the ratio of the lateral strain and the longitudinal strain for a member in tension. For a homogeneous, isotropic material, the modulus of rigidity G is related to Youngs modulus as G 5 E 2(1 1 n) Using the tabulated values of G and E in Table A5, calculate Poissons ratio for steel, aluminum, beryllium copper, and gray cast iron. Determine the percent difference between the calculated values and the values tabulated in Table A5.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 5 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Poissons ratio n is a material property and is the ratio of the lateral strain and the longitudinal strain for a member in tension. For a homogeneous, isotropic material, the modulus of rigidity G is related to Youngs modulus as G 5 E 2(1 1 n) Using the tabulated values of G and E in Table A5, calculate Poissons ratio for steel, aluminum, beryllium copper, and gray cast iron. Determine the percent difference between the calculated values and the values tabulated in Table A5.
From the textbook chapter Materials you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
