Poisson's Ratio for Cross-Laminated Timber in Orthotropic Material

Which Poisson's ratio should I enter for cross-laminated timber in the Orthotropic material?


Answer:

The selection of Poisson's ratio is not clearly regulated. In the case of a primarily plate-like load, the transverse strain can be set to zero as an approximation. In the case of a great shear distortion or torsion, we recommend entering a higher Poisson's ratio in the main load-bearing direction.
