Islam in Switzerland has mostly arrived via immigration since the late second millennium. Numbering below 1% of total population in 1980, the fraction of Muslims in the population of permanent residents in Switzerland has quintupled in thirty years, estimated at just above 5% as of 2013. [ 2 ]
Swiss Muslims are mostly of foreign origin (mostly of Arab ancestry those in the Gallo-Romance regions, and mostly of Balkan, Turkish and Iranian ancestry those in the Germanic regions), although there is an increasing number of native Swiss converts. [18] Religious Jews represented 0.2% of the Swiss population in 2020. [4]
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.
In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution (/ ˈ p w ɑː s ɒ n /) is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event. [1]
Conversely, if the "integrated" Poisson's ratio is constant, which is what you are talking about, then the incremental Poisson's ratio must vary with the amount of deformation. Only when the deformations are very small with respect to the dimensions of the unstressed test object do the two become very nearly the same.
Poisson number can refer to: In mechanics, the reciprocal of Poisson's ratio. 1 / v. In statistics, a number drawn from a Poisson distribution
