Abstract
Abstract Changes in the Poisson's ratio of natural vulcanized rubber due to elongation were investigated experimentally. The following results were obtained: If infinitesimal deformation at any instant during elongation is considered, it appears to be correct to take the Poisson's ratio at such instants as 0.5. If the apparent Poisson ratio when a certain standard mark is taken and a large deformation imparted is considered, and the elongation ratio is made α, the Poisson's ratio decreases from 0.5 in accordance with the equation log10 (1/m)=0.0204α2−0.261α−0.0628. This equation is valid for subsequent elongations, no matter what elongation situation is taken for the standard marks. These two results do not vary with the carbon black content or on repeated stretching.
