Modulus Of Rigidity (Noun)

Meaning

The coefficient of elasticity for a shearing force.

Classification

Nouns denoting quantities and units of measure.

Examples

  • The modulus of rigidity is the coefficient of elasticity for a shearing force and can be used to calculate the amount of shear stress required to produce a given amount of strain.
  • In materials science, the modulus of rigidity is an important property that describes how a material will respond to torsional forces.
  • Engineers use the modulus of rigidity to determine the stiffness of a material when it is subjected to a shearing force.
  • The modulus of rigidity is generally denoted by the symbol G and is usually expressed in units of pressure, such as pascals or pounds per square inch.
  • Calculating the modulus of rigidity requires careful measurements of a material's deformation in response to a shearing force, which can be achieved using various testing techniques.
