Why rubber is incompressible material? I know its Poisson's ratio is nearing to 0.5. So I don't understand physically, what it means by 0.5 Poisson's ratio and incompressibility. When I tried searching it, I found that rubber (or similar polymers) conserve volume after deformation and so they are incompressible. But same is the case with steel (Poisson's ratio around 0.3), it conserves volume after deformation. So can someone explain this?
