Which of the following best describes the term 'shear modulus'?
  1. Ratio of shear stress to shear strain
  2. Ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain
  3. Ratio of compressive stress to compressive strain
  4. Ratio of bulk stress to bulk strain

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following best describes the term 'shear modulus'?
  • Step 1: Understand what shear stress is. Shear stress is the force applied parallel to the surface of a material.
  • Step 2: Understand what shear strain is. Shear strain is the deformation that occurs in a material when shear stress is applied.
  • Step 3: Know that the shear modulus is a measure of how much a material deforms (shear strain) when a shear stress is applied.
  • Step 4: Learn that the shear modulus is calculated by dividing the shear stress by the shear strain.
  • Step 5: Remember that a higher shear modulus means the material is more resistant to deformation.
