A bar made of material whose Young's modulus is equal to E and Poisson's ratio to n, is subjected to the hydrostatic pressure p. Find: (a) the fractional decrement of its volume; (b) the relationship between the compressibility b and the elastic constants E and n. Show that Poisson's ratio n cannot exceed 1/2. |
