Question

Shear modulus is analogous to what material property that is determined in tensile testing? (a)- Percent reduction of area (b) Yield strength (c)- Elastic modulus (d)- Poisson's ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

(c)- Elastic modulus

Explanation:

  We know that in tensile test we measure the properties of the material like yield strength,ultimate tensile strength ,Poisson ratio.

In tensile test

σ = ε E

Where σ is the stress

ε  is the strain.

E is the elastic modulus.

Now for shear tress

τ = Φ G

Where τ the shear stress

Φ  is the shear strain.

G  is the shear  modulus.

So we can say that Shear modulus is analogous to Elastic modulus.
