GATE XE 2017 XE-D Q63: Mechanics of deformable bodies

An aluminum specimen with an initial gauge diameter

and a gauge length

is subjected to tension test. A tensile force

is applied at the ends of the specimen as shown resulting in an elongation of

in the gauge length. The Poisson’s ratio (

) of the specimen is ________.

Shear modulus of the material

. Consider engineering stress-strain conditions.
