General Guidance
Shear strain:

Shear strain is the ratio of shear stress and the rigidity modulus. It is denoted by
γ.

Shear stress:

Shear stress is the ratio of shear force and the resisting shear area. It is denoted by
τ.

Difference between single shear and Double shear stress:

The following diagram helps to understand the difference between single shear and double shear:

Stress strain diagram:

Stress strain diagram represents the relation between stress and strain for a specific material. To study
the behaviour of a material under specific loading conditions stress strain diagram is used.

Elastic recovery of shear strain:

When the load is released, some amount of strain is recovered, and it is called elastic recovery of shear
strain.

τ = Gγ

Here, G is shear modulus.
