Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Shear strains and direct strains are independent components in a strain tensor at a point. Also the poisson ratio is defined as

μ = -
(lateral strain)/(longitudinal strain)

Which is independent of shear strains Thus this affect does not apply on shear strains
