8.8. Take the situation of two laminae butted and adhered to each other with the orientation as shown. If a stress is applied to this configuration, what is the resulting deformation perpendicular to the applied loading? More mportantly, why? Assume that even though the laminae are adhered any of the three deformations is possible a short distance away from the bond. The correct result can be proven mathematically. Perhaps surpris- t. your intuition on this problem will fail you

Solution

Option B

Because , every material has a certain poisson\'s ratio. It states that if lateral strain of material due to applied load is positive then longitudinal strain will be negative. From the given loading the dimension along the direction of applied load increases and dimension perpendicular to applied load decreases. That is the deformed shape.
