Poisson’s Ratio Calculator | Lateral & Longitudinal Strain Tool

Poisson’s ratio Tool Formula:

Poisson's Ratio (ν):

\[ V = -(\frac{\epsilon_{lateral}}{\epsilon_{axial}}) \]

(where ε_lateral = lateral strain, ε_axial = axial strain)

The Poisson Ratio Calculator is useful in calculating the Poisson ratio of materials under axial loading for engineers, students, and designers. Poisson ratio is a basic elastic property that connects the lateral (transverse) strain to longitudinal (axial) strain, which is given as ν = -epsilon lateral/epsilon longitudinal.

The users can feed in the axial and lateral strain values or axial stress and material properties. The calculator then calculates the Poisson ratio, lateral strain, and optionally the axial strain upon input. Demonstrations of Elastic deformation formulae, stress-strain curves, and lateral contraction undertaking are provided in steps, such that one can analyze the rod, shaft, beam, or structural member.

SI units are accepted: mm/mm, m/m, N/m 2, Pa. It is a great tool for mechanical engineers, civil engineers, design engineers, and students handling the elastic deformation, rods, beams, shafts, and materials to make sure that the Poisson ratio and strain behavior of mechanical and structural applications can be determined accurately.
