Poisson's ratio, n, is a fundamental parameter characterizing the mechanical behavior of a material. Because the ratio of the bulk to the shear modulus, B/G, becomes infinite when n ¼ 1=2, it is often assumed that the bulk modulus becomes very large as a material approaches ''incompressibility.'' Th
