Abstract
An example of an orthorhombic material is constructed such that even t hough the strain-energy density is positive definite, Poisson's ratio may take an arbitrarily large positive value for one pair of orthogona l directions and take an arbitrarily small negative value for another pair of orthogonal directions.
