Shear Modulus

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Shear Modulus is an essential tool for understanding Shear Modulus in quantitative terms. Calculate G = Shear Stress / Shear Strain.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = stress ÷ strain
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
stress Shear Stress (τ) Pa
strain Shear Strain (γ)

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Shear Stress (τ) = 85 Pa
  • Shear Strain (γ) = 35

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 85 ÷ 35
