0.0015 is a longitudinal strain.
0.03/20 = 0.0015.
0.03/20 = 0.0015.

How you take 0.0015?

μ = - εt / εl= -(-0.00045) /0.0015= 0.3 ---- (1)
Where,
μ = Poisson's ratio.
εt = transverse strain.
εl = longitudinal or axial strain.
Strain can be expressed as,
εt = dl / L = 0.0018/4=0.00045 , εl=0.0015.
Where,
dl = change in length (m, ft).
L = initial length (m, ft).
Where,
μ = Poisson's ratio.
εt = transverse strain.
εl = longitudinal or axial strain.
Strain can be expressed as,
εt = dl / L = 0.0018/4=0.00045 , εl=0.0015.
