The Court normally consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment (though no justice has ever been removed).
The solvency ratio measures the size of a company's after-tax income, excluding noncash depreciation expenses, compared with the firm's total debt obligations. It provides a measurement of how likely it is a company can continue to meet its debt obligations. The measure is calculated as shown here:
Poisson's Ratio Definition Equation. Strength of Materials. Poisson's ratio is defined as the negative of the ratio of the lateral strain to the axial strain for a uniaxial stress state.If a tensile load is applied to a material, the material will elongate on the axis of the load (perpendicular to the tensile stress plane), as illustrated in Figure 1 (a).f volume is constant, a corresponding lateral contraction or expansion must occur. This lateral change will bear a fixed relationship to the axial strain. The relationship, or ratio, of lateral to axial strain is called Poisson's ratio after the name of its discoverer.
