Answer:

The angle of twist can be computed using the material’s shear modulus if and only if the shear stress is still in the elastic region

Explanation:

The shear modulus (G) is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. Like the modulus of elasticity, the shear modulus is governed by Hooke’s Law: the relationship between shear stress and shear strain is proportional up to the proportional limit of the material. The angle of twist can be computed using the material’s shear modulus if and only if the shear stress is still in the elastic region.
