Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

(OP)
In the older versions of Ansys one used the minor poisson's ratio NUXY etc when giving orthotropic material proerties. In version 6 the major poisson's ratio PRXY is required. What is the definition of PRXY, and what is the conversion to NUXY.

Hi Heinbau

Read on Chapter 2.1_ Structural Fundamentals Stress-Strain relations and you will have a lot of answers to your question.

Hi Mohr,

Can you please be a little more specific on the  title and author of the book, as I do not have it. I have quite a few other books in the field, but nowhere in them or the Ansys theory manual do I find anything on the matter.

Hi Heinbau !!

I am talking about Ansys theory documentation. Open Help then go to Index, and find poisson´s ratios. It goes to
Chapter 2 Structures and point 2.1.
Here you can read about Stress and Strain relationship and
all about NUXY / PRXY

Cheers

Hi Mohr,

RE: Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

Hi Heinbau !!!
 Allways go to Ansys Manual. It has a lot of MODERN THEORY and a lot of References. Good luck with your work.
