Question 1
Among the following materials, which one exhibits the highest Poisson's ratio?
Correct Answer Explanation
Rubber has a Poisson's ratio close to \(0.5\) (nearly incompressible), which is the theoretical maximum for isotropic materials. Typical values: Rubber \(\approx 0.45–0.50\), Steel \(\approx 0.28\), Aluminum \(\approx 0.33\), Copper \(\approx 0.34\).
