alleryFor steels, Poisson ratio lies in which range?
ABetween 0.10 and 0.12
BBetween 0.50 and 0.60
CBetween 0.80 and 0.90
DBetween 0.28 and 0.30
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Between 0.28 and 0.30
1. The value depends only on the nature of the material.
2. For aluminium alloys it comes to about 0.33.
3. For steels the value lies between 0.28 and 0.30.
