as well as zero shear strains <strong>for</strong> i ≠ j. Thus, E is the proportionality factor<br />

between axial (normal) stresses and strains. Geometrically, it is the slope of<br />

the one-dimensional linear stress-strain diagram (Figure 6-1a). Note that E > 0;<br />

a specimen will elongate under tension, shorten in compression. From the<br />

second and third part of Eq 6.2-9 above, v is seen to be the ratio of the unit<br />

lateral contraction to unit longitudinal extension <strong>for</strong> tension, and vice versa
