Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Poissons ratiothe negative of the ratio of trans-verse strain to the corresponding axial strain resulting from anaxial stress below the proportional limit of the material.3.1.2 DiscussionAbove the proportional limit, the ratio of
8、transverse strain to axial strain will depend on the averagestress and on the stress range for which it is measured and,hence, should not be regarded as Poissons ratio. If this ratio isreported, nevertheless, as a value of “Poissons ratio” forstresses beyond the proportional limit, the range of stre
9、ssshould be stated.3.1.3 DiscussionPoissons ratio will have more than onevalue if the material is not isotropic. Deviations from isotropyshould be suspected if the Poissons ratio, , determined by themethod described below differs significantly from that deter-mined when the ratio E/G of Youngs modul
10、us, E, to shearmodulus, G, is substituted in the following equation: 5 E/2G! 2 1 (1)where E and G must be measured with greater precision thanthe precision desired in the measurement of .4. Significance and Use4.1 When uniaxial force is applied to a solid, it deforms inthe direction of the applied f
11、orce, but also expands or contractslaterally depending on whether the force is tensile or compres-sive. If the solid is homogeneous and isotropic, and thematerial remains elastic under the action of the applied force,the lateral strain bears a constant relationship to the axial strain.This constant,
12、 called Poissons ratio, is an intrinsic materialproperty just like Youngs modulus and Shear modulus.4.2 Poissons ratio is used for design of structures where alldimensional changes resulting from application of force needto be taken into account, and in the application of thegeneralized theory of el
13、asticity to structural analysis.4.3 In this test method, the value of Poissons ratio isobtained from strains resulting from uniaxial stress only.5. General Considerations5.1 The accuracy of the determination of Poissons ratio isusually limited by the accuracy of the transverse strain mea-surements b
14、ecause the percentage errors in these measurementsare usually greater than in the axial strain measurements.

17、 value of the calibra-tion factors of the extensometers.Also, in general, the values ofthe applied forces need not be accurately known. It is fre-quently expedient to make the determination of Poissons ratioconcurrently with determinations of Youngs modulus and theproportional limit.6. Apparatus6.1
18、ForcesForces shall be applied either by verified deadweights or in a testing machine that has been calibrated inaccordance with Practices E4.6.2 ExtensometersClass B-1 extensometers or better, asdescribed in Practice E83, shall be used except as otherwiseprovided in the product specifications.NOTE 1
19、If exceptions are provided in the product specification so thatextensometers of types other than those covered in Practice E83 are used,it may be necessary to apply corrections, for example, the correction forthe transverse sensitivity3of bonded resistance gages.6.2.1 It is recommended that at least
20、 two pairs of extensom-eters be usedone pair for measuring axial strain and the otherfor transverse strain, with the extensometers of each pairparallel to each other and on opposite sides of the specimen.Additional extensometers may be used to check on alignmentor to obtain better average strains in
21、 the case of unavoidablevariations in thickness. The extensometers should be placed onthe specimen with a free distance of at least one specimenwidth between any extensometer and the nearest fillet, and atleast two specimen widths between any extensometer and thenearest grip.NOTE 2Three possible arr
22、angements of extensometers, among themany that have been used, are shown in Fig. 1. Arrangement (a), Fig. 1,which requires only two pairs of extensometers, can be used if theconditions are very nearly ideal with respect to axiality of applied forceand constancy of cross-section within the length in
23、which the extensom-eters are placed. An additional pair of extensometers is used in arrange-ment (b) to provide some compensation for the effect of a uniformvariation in thickness in the axial direction. The other arrangement of threepairs of extensometers, arrangement (c), provides a check on align
24、ment.6.3 Alignment DevicesGrips and other devices for obtain-ing and maintaining axial alignment are shown in Test MethodsE8.7.

25、g tested.7.2 DimensionsThe recommended specimen configura-tion has a tested length of at least five times the tested width,and a length between the grips of at least seven times the testedwidth. The tested width itself is at least equal to the testedthickness. The radius of the fillets of a standard
26、 rectangularspecimen is not less than the minimum width of the specimen.The width shall be constant over the entire length where theextensometers are placed and for an additional distance at eachend equal to at least this width, unless otherwise provided inthe product specifications.7.3 Stress Relie
27、fThis test method is intended to produceintrinsic materials properties. Therefore, the specimen needs tobe free of residual stresses, which may require an annealingprocedure at Tm/3 for 30 min (Tmis the melting point of thematerial in K). If the intent of the test is to verify theperformance of a pr
28、oduct, the heat treatment procedure may beomitted. Record the condition of the material tested, includingany heat treatment, in the test report.8. Procedure8.1 Measurement of SpecimensAll surfaces on the rectan-gular specimen shall be flat. Opposite surfaces across the widthand thickness shall be pa
29、rallel within 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) and0.0001 in. (0.0025 mm) respectively. Specimen thickness shallbe measured to within 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) and width shall bemeasured to within 0.0001 in. (0.0025 mm) at three locationsand an average determined.NOTE 3For thin sheet, a survey of thickness variation
30、by moresensitive devices, such as a pneumatic or electric gage, may be needed todetermine thickness with the required accuracy.8.2 AlignmentProcedures for verifying the alignment aredescribed in detail in Practice E1012. The allowable bending asdefined in Practice E1012 shall not exceed 5 %.8.3 Reco
31、rd simultaneous measurements of applied force andstrain.8.4 Speed of TestingThe speed of testing shall be lowenough to make the thermal effects of adiabatic expansion orcontraction negligible, yet high enough to make creep negli-gible. In applying forces with dead weights, avoid temporaryoverloading
32、 due to inertia of the weights.8.5 Applied ForcesThe applied forces shall correspond tostresses that are within the linear portion of the stress-straincurve, that is, less than the proportional limit. The precision ofthe value of Poissons ratio obtained will depend on thenumber of data pair of longi

Evaluation of Data9.1 Plot the average longitudinal strain, l, indicated by thelongitudinal extensometers and the average
35、 transverse strain,t, indicated by the transverse extensometers, against theapplied force, P, as shown in Fig. 2. Draw a straight linethrough each set of points, and determine the slopes, dl/dP,and dt/dP, of these lines. Calculate Poissons ratio as follows: 5 dt/dP!/dl/dP! (2)9.2 The errors introduc
36、ed by drawing a straight line throughthe points can be reduced by applying the method of leastsquares.4,5, 6The value of Poissons ratio thus obtained shouldcoincide with that obtained for a single large force incrementbetween stresses below the proportional limit.NOTE 4For the method of least square
37、s, random variations in the dataare considered as variations in strain. In determining the stress range(force range) for which data should be used in the calculations, it is helpfulto examine the data using the strain deviation method described in TestMethod E111. Due to possible small offsets at ze
38、ro applied force and smallvariations in establishing the load path in the specimen during the firstsmall increment of force application, the readings at zero applied forceand the first small increment of force application are typically not includedin the calculations, and the line is not constrained
