Language:enStatus: Standard
Term: modulus of rigidity
Synonym1: Coulomb modulus
[Preferred]
Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: G
Definition: quantity equal to shear stress τ divided by shear strain γ, under given conditions, thus G = τ / γ

NOTE 1 Usually, an isothermal process is considered.

NOTE 2 In anisotropic media, modulus of rigidity may depend on the orientation.

NOTE 3 The coherent SI unit of modulus of rigidity is pascal, Pa.
