Poissons Ratio and Hookes Law

At an axial load of 22 kN, a 45-mm-wide 15-mm-thick polyimide polymer bar elongates 3.0 mm while the bar width contracts 0.25 mm. The bar is 200 mm long. At the 22-kN load, the stress in the polymer bar is less than its proportional limit. Determine Poissons ratio.

A 0.75-in.-thick rectangular alloy bar is subjected to a tensile load P by pins at A and B. The width of the bar is w = 3.0 in. Strain gages bonded to the specimen measure the following strains in the longitudinal (x) and transverse (y) directions: x = 840 and y = 250 . Determine Poissons ratio for this specimen.
