    The document defines shear strain and explains how it arises in materials undergoing shear stress. Shear strain is the angular change that occurs at some point in a material due to applied shear forces. When a shear stress is applied to a small element of material, it causes forces on the top and bottom faces that generate a couple, and equal and opposite forces on the side faces that offset this couple and keep the element in equilibrium. The deformation of the element due to these shear forces causes an angular change that can be measured as the shear strain.

    CIVL 3322 / MECH 3322 Shear Strain

    Shear Strain
    Axial

    strain is the ratio of the deformation of a body along the loading axis to the original un-deformed length of the body The units of axial strain are length per length and are usually given without dimensions

    Shear Strain

    Shear Strain
    Shear

    strain is defined as angular change at some point in a shape

    Shear Strain

    Shear Strain
    If

    we look at a material undergoing a shear stress, we have to go back to statics to start We need to remember about couples

    Shear Strain

    Shear Strain
    We can start by looking at an element of material undergoing a shear stress (the red arrows)

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    For the block to be in equilibrium, the top force directed to the right must be offset by a force directed to the left. Since we are talking about shear, it must act parallel to a face.

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    So the bottom face has a force directed parallel to it that it equal and opposite to the force that is acting parallel to the top face. This assumes that the area of the top and bottom face are equal.

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    These two forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction generate a couple on the element. Since the element is in equilibrium, something must offset the moment produced by this couple.

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    The two forces acting on the left and right faces produce a couple that is equal in magnitude to the couple produced by the forces acting on the top and bottom faces. It is also opposite in direction.

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    This will always be the case when an element in under shear.

    10

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    The shear acting on the four faces of the element cause a deformation of the element. If the lower left corner is considered stationary, we can look at how much the upper left corner of the element moves.

    11

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    The upper left corner has moved a distance in the positive xdirection. If we look at the angle made by the deformation and the positive y-axis.

    12

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    This is not the angle . The sine of this angle is

    x L

    13

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    If x is very small with respect to L, which is generally the case, then the value of the angle in radians is approximately equal to the sign of the angle.

    x L

    14

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    is the symbol for the shear, so we have

    x y = L

    15

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    It is labeled with an xy subscript because we are looking at the shear strain in the xy plane I have labeled it with a y subscript because it is the angle made with the y-axis.

    x y = L

    16

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    The shear is actually the difference between the original angle between the side along the y-axis and the side along the x-axis and the angle after loading

    x y = L

    17

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    The angle is determined by using

    x ' = y = 2 2 L

    18

    Shear Strain

    F02_004

    Shear Strain

    If there is also a deformation above or below the x-axis, it must also be included to solve for

    ' = xy 2
