Shear Strain given Tangential Displacement and Original Length Calculator

Calculate Shear Strain





Formula

The formula to calculate Shear Strain (γ) is:

\[ \gamma = \frac{t}{L_0} \]

Definition

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. The tangential displacement is the displacement of the body caused due to the action of tangential force. The Original Length refers to the material's initial size or dimension before any external forces are applied.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \gamma = \frac{5.678}{5} \approx 1.1356 \]

The Shear Strain is approximately 1.1356.
