  2. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  3. Stress intensity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_intensity_factor

    where K is the stress intensity factor (with units of stress × length 1/2) and is a dimensionless quantity that varies with the load and geometry. Theoretically, as r goes to 0, the stress σ i j {\displaystyle \sigma _{ij}} goes to ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } resulting in a stress singularity. [ 5 ]

  4. Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution

    k! = k(k–1) ··· (3)(2)(1) is the factorial. The positive real number λ is equal to the expected value of X and also to its variance. [13] = ⁡ = ⁡ (). The Poisson distribution can be applied to systems with a large number of possible events, each of which is rare. The number of such events that occur during a fixed time interval is ...

  6. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    = Poisson's Ratio. Flexural rigidity of a plate has units of Pa·m 3, i.e. one dimension of length less than the same property for the rod, as it refers to the moment per unit length per unit of curvature, and not the total moment. I is termed as moment of inertia. J is denoted as 2nd moment of inertia/polar moment of inertia.

  7. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    The Poisson's ratio is a measure in which a material tends to expand in directions perpendicular to the direction of compression. After measuring the Young's modulus and the shear modulus, dedicated software determines the Poisson's ratio using Hooke's law which can only be applied to isotropic materials according to the different standards.

  8. Gauge factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_factor

    Gauge factor (GF) or strain factor of a strain gauge is the ratio of relative change in electrical resistance R, to the mechanical strain ε. The gauge factor is defined as: [ 1 ] G F = Δ R / R Δ L / L = Δ R / R ε = 1 + 2 ν + Δ ρ / ρ ε {\displaystyle GF={\frac {\Delta R/R}{\Delta L/L}}={\frac {\Delta R/R}{\varepsilon }}=1+2\nu +{\frac ...

  9. Poisson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_equation

    Poisson's equation is an elliptic partial differential equation of broad utility in theoretical physics. For example, the solution to Poisson's equation is the potential field caused by a given electric charge or mass density distribution; with the potential field known, one can then calculate the corresponding electrostatic or gravitational ...
