shear strain definition
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the definition of shear strain, which is a concept in materials science and engineering related to the deformation of materials under shear stress.
Answer
The ratio of the change in deformation to the original length due to shear stress.
Shear strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to the original length perpendicular to the axes of the member due to shear stress.
Answer for screen readers
Shear strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to the original length perpendicular to the axes of the member due to shear stress.
More Information
Shear strain measures how a material deforms under shear stress, which is parallel to its cross-sectional surface.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing shear strain with normal strain, which is deformation perpendicular to the force applied.
