21
Q

What is shear stress?

A

Force per unit area for a force applied tangent to a surface.

22
Q

What is shear strain?

A

The displacement x of one side divided by the transverse dimension h.

23
Q

What is the shear modulus?

A

S = shear stress/shear strain

24
Q

What is the proportional limit?

A

The maximum stress for which stress and strain are proportional.

25
Beyond the proportional limit..
Hooke’s Law is not valid.
26
What is the elastic limit?
The stress beyond which irreversible deformation occurs.
27
What is the breaking strength/ultimate strength?
The stress at which the material breaks.
