UnitConversion.onlineDefinition:
Shear modulus measures a material's ability to resist shear deformation when a force is applied parallel to its surface. It is essential in understanding material behavior under torsional loads and in designing components subjected to shear stresses.
Example Conversions:
- 1 gigapascal (GPa) = 1,000,000,000 pascals (Pa)
- Rubber typically has a shear modulus below 1 GPa
