When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

The Poisson noise channel with the input random variable \(X\), the scaling factor \(a\), the dark current parameter \(\lambda\), and the ouput random variable \(Y\). Poisson noise models are an ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...
