Q: The strain produced by shear stress is known as:
  • A. Compressive strain
  • B. Shear strain
  • C. Tensile strain
  • D. Volumetric strain
Correct Answer: Option B - Shear strain– The shear strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to its original length perpendicular to the axis of the member due to shear stress.
B. Shear strain– The shear strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to its original length perpendicular to the axis of the member due to shear stress.

Explanations:

Shear strain– The shear strain is the ratio of the change in deformation to its original length perpendicular to the axis of the member due to shear stress.
