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.
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.
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
