Shear Strain
• Shear strain is the ratio of deformation to original dimensions. In the case of shear strain, it is the amount of deformation perpendicular to a given line rather than parallel to it.
• In engineering, shear strain is defined as the
tangent of the angle, and is equal to the length of deformation at its maximum divided by the
perpendicular length in the plane of force
