Focus
200 years of Poisson's ratio
- Focus issue:
- November 2011 Volume 10, No 11
The publication of Siméon Poisson's Traité de Mécanique in 1811 represented a milestone in our understanding of the properties of materials. Two hundred years on, concepts such as Poisson's ratio continue to provide a good metric for the development of enhanced structural materials. In this focus issue we take a look at some of the latest developments in the field.
