GlossaryShear Modulus

measure of a material's resistance to shear deformation

The Shear Modulus, also known as the Modulus of Rigidity, is a measure of a material's ability to resist deformation under shear stress. It quantifies how much a material will deform when a force is applied parallel to one of its surfaces while the opposite surface is held fixed. This property is crucial in understanding the mechanical behavior of materials, including biological tissues like hair, under various stress conditions.
