Re: the relationship of poisson ratio and tangential stiffness

 

Hello Vaclav,

From Eq(3.39) and the chart on page 52 in your thesis, How to deal with the kind of materials which have the poisson's ratio of over 0.25 (0.25-0.5). For this kind of materials. In the other words, how to get the Kt from Kn and poisson's ratio? Thank you so much.

Best
