Shear Modulus Calculator

Shear Modulus (G):

Shear Stress (τ):

Shear Strain (γ):

How This Is Calculated

$$ G = \frac{\tau}{\gamma} $$
where:

G = Shear Modulus (Pa or N/m²)

τ = Shear Stress (Pa or N/m²)

γ = Shear Strain (dimensionless)

Assumptions

The material behaves linearly and elastically.
Deformations are small (for large strains the linear relationship between shear stress and strain may not hold).
Material is homogeneous.
The material is isotropic.
