In this study, we show that negative Poisson’s ratio is a feature of several metal plates with the nanometer thickness under finite strain, contrasting to their bulk counterparts that exhibit positive ...

An understanding of a material's microscopic architecture is important to improve its mechanical properties. Poisson's ratio, which celebrates its bicentenary this year, continues to provide a good ...

Lecture Notes-Monograph Series, Vol. 52, Time Series and Related Topics: In Memory of Ching-Zong Wei (2006), pp. 236-244 (9 pages) This exposition explains the basic ideas of Stein's method for ...

When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...
