Ratio of shear stress and shear strain is called ________

Explanation:

Modulus of rigidity:

• Shear modulus or modulus of rigidity is used to measure the rigidity of a body.
• The ratio of shear stress over shear strain is known as Shear modulus.
• It is denoted by G.
• The SI unit of rigidity modulus is Pascal (Pa).
• Shear stress is the force that causes the deformation of material along a plane that is parallel to applied shear stress.
• Shearing is the act of removing material from the surface of a body by applying stress.
• Shear stress occurs when the force is applied parallel to a surface.

Poisson’s ratio:

• Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in the direction of the stretching force.

Elastic coefficient:

• Modulus of elasticity or the coefficient of elasticity or Elastic constant is defined as the ratio of stress to strain.
• The SI unit of the elastic constant is N/m².
