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 ...

Australian scientists have gained new insights into the fundamental behavior of flexible materials, allowing for the design ...

Methods: A strain gauged bone staple was mounted percutaneously along the axial direction in the mid diaphysis of the medial tibia in three subjects, and in vivo tibial strains were measured during ...
