About Shear Modulus Calculator

The Shear Modulus Calculator helps engineering students calculate the modulus of rigidity (G), which is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain.

Formula: G = τ / γ

Key Points

• τ = Shear Stress (Pa)
• γ = Shear Strain (dimensionless)
• G = Shear Modulus (Pa)

Applications

• ✅ Structural engineering analysis
• ✅ Torsional shaft design
• ✅ Mechanical material testing

FAQs

1. What is shear modulus?

Shear modulus (G) is a material property that measures the material's response to shear stress.

2. What are the units of shear modulus?

Shear modulus is measured in Pascals (Pa) or N/m².

3. How is shear modulus related to elasticity?

It relates shear stress to shear strain, similar to how Young’s modulus relates tensile stress to tensile strain.

4. Where is shear modulus used?

It is widely used in shaft torsion problems, structural analysis, and elasticity studies.
