For an orthotropic material, if E and v represent Young’s modulus and the poisons ratio, respectively, then what is the value of v12 if E1=200 Gpa, E2=160 Gpa and v21=0.25?

(a) 0.3125

(b) 0.05

(c) 0.2125

(d) 0.3

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

Correct choice is (a) 0.3125

The explanation is: For an orthotropic material, E1 and E2 are the principal (Young’s) moduli in the x and y directions, respectively. The poisons ratio and Young’s moduli are related by the equation

v12=v21\(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\).

v12=0.25*\(\frac{200}{160}\)

=0.25*1.25

=0.3125.
