Figure 1: A cube with sides of length L of an isotropic linearly elastic material<br />

subject to tension along the x axis, with a Poisson's ratio of 0.5. The green<br />

cube is unstrained, the red is expanded in the x direction by ∆L due to tension,<br />

and contracted in the y and z directions by ∆L'.<br />

Poisson Ratio = ∆L‘/ ∆L<br />
