Shear Strain

Shearing Stress And Tangential Stress

The ration of shearing to the shearing strain is defined as

Shearing strain is expreseed by

A 0.05 m cube has its upper face displaced by 0.2 cm by a tangential force of 8N . Calculate the shearing strain, shearing stress and modulus of rigidity of the material of the cube.

The shearing strain produced in a block of metal subjected to a shearing stress of 10^(8)N//m^(2) is ( Modulus of rigidity eta=8 xx 10^(10)N//m^(2) )

A steel bar of cross section A is subjected to two equal and opposite pulling forces at the two ends. If there is a plane through the bar making an angle alpha as shown, find for what alpha the shearing strain is maximum.

A rubber cube of side 5 cm has one side fixed while a tangential force equal to 1800 N is applied to opposite face. Find the shearing strain and the lateral displacement of the strained face. Modulus of rigidity for rubber is 2.4 xx 10^(6) N//m^(2) .
