What is the primary difference between a fluid and a solid in terms of deformation under shear stress?
What is the primary difference between a fluid and a solid in terms of deformation under shear stress?
A fluid deforms continuously under the influence of shear stress, no matter how small, whereas a solid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming and eventually stops deforming at some fixed strain angle.
