Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

shear strain is define as the ratio of change in deformation to the original length perpendicular to the axes of member due to shear stress.

ε = deformation/original length

strain is a unit less quantity but shear stain is generally expressed in radians but it can also be expressed in degree.
