Shearing Deformation
Shearing Deformation
Shearing forces cause shearing deformation. An element subject to
shear does not change in length but undergoes a change in shape.
Shearing Deformation
The change in angle at the corner of an original rectangular element is
called the shear strain and is expressed as
The ratio of the shear stress and the shear strain is called the modulus
of elasticity in shear or modulus of rigidity and is denoted as G, in
MPa.
Shearing Deformation
The relationship between the shearing deformation and the applied
shearing force is
where εx is strain in the x-direction and εy and εz are the strains in the
perpendicular direction. The negative sign indicates a decrease in the transverse
dimension when εx is positive.
