A
linear elastic material loaded in shear by an applied shear stress t
= F/A0, responds by exhibiting a deformation characterized by the shear
strain g
= tanq.
These two quantities are linked through a Hooke's law type of expression
for shear: t
= G g,
where G is an elastic constant known as the Shear modulus. G is related
to Young's modulus, E, and Poison's ratio, n,
for the material by: G
= E/2(1 + n).
