    Poisson's Ratio Values For Different Materials

    Uploaded by

    ricardogv2010
    This document lists the Poisson's ratios for various common materials, ranging from around 0.5 for rubber to nearly 0 for cork. It provides definitions for Poisson's ratio as a measure of compressibility perpendicular to applied stress or the ratio of latitudinal to longitudinal strain. It also notes that Poisson's ratios can be expressed in terms of P-wave and S-wave velocities and that values approaching 0.5 indicate fluids while common ratios for rocks are around 0.3 for carbonates, 0.2 for sandstones, and above 0.3 for shales.

    Poisson`s ratio

    An elastic constant that is a measure of the compressibility of material perpendicular to applied


    stress, or the ratio of latitudinal to longitudinal strain. This elastic constant is named for Simeon
    Poisson (1781 to 1840), a French mathematician. Poisson's ratio can be expressed in terms of
    properties that can be measured in the field, including velocities of P-waves and S-waves as shown
    below.

    Note that if VS = 0, then Poisson's ratio equals 1/2, indicating either a fluid, because shear waves do
    not pass through fluids, or a material that maintains constant volume regardless of stress, also known
    as an ideal incompressible material. VS approaching zero is characteristic of a gas reservoir.
    Poisson's ratio for carbonate rocks is ~ 0.3, for sandstones ~0.2, and above 0.3 for shale. The
    Poisson's ratio of coal is ~ 0.4.
