  2. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    The value of Poisson's ratio is the negative of the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain. For small values of these changes, ν is the amount of transversal elongation divided by the amount of axial compression. Most materials have Poisson's ratio values ranging between 0.0 and 0.5.

  3. Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution

    algorithm poisson random number (Knuth): init: Let L ← e −λ, k ← 0 and p ← 1. do: kk + 1. Generate uniform random number u in [0,1] and let p ← p × u. while p > L. return k − 1. The complexity is linear in the returned value k, which is λ on average. There are many other algorithms to improve this.

  4. Lamé parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamé_parameters

    The two parameters together constitute a parameterization of the elastic moduli for homogeneous isotropic media, popular in mathematical literature, and are thus related to the other elastic moduli; for instance, the bulk modulus can be expressed as K = λ + ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ μ.

  6. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    the Poisson's ratio ν describes the response in the directions orthogonal to this uniaxial stress (the wire getting thinner and the column thicker), the bulk modulus K describes the material's response to (uniform) hydrostatic pressure (like the pressure at the bottom of the ocean or a deep swimming pool),

  7. Auxetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxetics

    The earliest published example of a material with negative Poisson's constant is due to A. G. Kolpakov in 1985, "Determination of the average characteristics of elastic frameworks"; the next synthetic auxetic material was described in Science in 1987, entitled "Foam structures with a Negative Poisson's Ratio" [1] by R.S. Lakes from the ...

  9. 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.
