Calculate Shear Modulus





Formula

The formula to calculate Shear Modulus is:

\[ G = \frac{\text{Shear Stress}}{\text{Shear Strain}} \]

Definition

The Shear Modulus is the slope of the linear elastic region of the shear stress-strain curve. Shear Stress is the force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. Shear Strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to its original length perpendicular to the axes of the member due to shear stress.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ G = \frac{61}{1.75} \approx 34.8571428571429 \]

The Shear Modulus is approximately 34.8571428571429 Pascal.
