Poisson's ratio of some structural alloys for large strains

Values of Poisson's ratio, as well as ordinary stress-strain properties, for tensile strains as high as 18 percent, were determined on sheets of aluminum alloys 24ST and 24SRT, chrome-molybdenum steel plate, and structural and fully killed low-carbon steel plate. 1 Figures in brackets indicate the literature references at the end of this paper.
