Shear Modulus Equation

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

G = Shear Modulus (Pa or N/m²)

τ = Shear Stress (Pa or N/m²)

γ = Shear Strain (dimensionless)

Equation 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.
