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

(c)- Elastic modulus

Step-by-step 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.
