Abstract
Contributions to a compressive deformation can result from change of shape and change of size. For most materials these two contributions are of similar magnitude. For materials such as rubber which have a low shear modulus but a relatively high bulk modulus any restriction on their freedom to change shape can have a very marked effect on their stiffness in compression. Poisson's ratio is used to relate the relative magnitudes of shear and bulk moduli.Keywords
