Shear Modulus Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online shear calculator to calculate force is applied parallel to one face of the object using Shear Modulus formula.

The shear modulus is the elastic modulus we use for the deformation which takes place when a force is applied parallel to one face of the object while the opposite face is held fixed by another equal force.

The bigger the shear modulus the more rigid is the material since for the same change in horizontal distance (strain) you will need a bigger force (stress). This is why the shear modulus is sometimes called the modulus of rigidity.

Shear Modulus Calculation

Formula:

G=F·lA·Δx

where,
F is the force which acts
l is the initial length
A is the area on which the force acts
Δx is the transverse displacement
G is the Shear Modulus
