shear strain

[′shir ‚strān]
(mechanics)
Also known as shear.
A deformation of a solid body in which a plane in the body is displaced parallel to itself relative to parallel planes in the body; quantitatively, it is the displacement of any plane relative to a second plane, divided by the perpendicular distance between planes.
The force causing such deformation.

shear strain, shearing strain

A deformation in a structural member (measured in radians) resulting from the application of a force in a plane (or line) of a cross section of the member, perpendicular to the length of the beam.

Figure 6 shows the evolution of the relaxation modulus with respect to the elapsed time after a sudden step shear strain where the amplitude of the strain was varied from linear to nonlinear viscoelasticity ranges.
Mylonitic rocks formed as a result of heterogeneous shear strain in the ductile shear zone, and their fabric directly related to the strain rate, finite strain ellipsoid shape and orientation (Watts and Williams, 1983; Zhang et al., 2010; Mulchrone and Talbot, 2014; Fossen and Cavalcante, 2017).
The complex cyclic mobility illustrated in Figure 3 inspired the idea of soil liquefaction to consider the magnitude of shear strain in soil.
Closer look into the shear strain graph reveals some degree of difference between DIC reading and FEM results (Fig.
When shear waves propagate transversely in the cross-section of the underground structures, the induced shear strain is equal to the state of stress shown in Figure 2:
However, after the model was loaded, the potential shear strain belt that was linked in its shear stress field was obvious, and the belt passed through the point of loading with an arc-shaped distribution
Signs of damage on the tested device appeared at 350% shear strain: failure was caused to the partial detachment of an internal plate.
