1.

Explain shearing strain.

Answer»

1. The relative displacement of the bottom face and the top face of the cube is called shearing strain.

2. Shearing strain = \(\frac{\triangle\,l}{L}\) = tan θ

where, ∆l = displaced length,

L = Original length.

3. When ∆l is very small,

tan θ ≈ θ and shearing strain = θ
