Shear Modulus Calculator

Find shear modulus from shear stress and strain.

Shear modulus (Pa) 83,333,333,333.33

Formula: G = shear stress ÷ shear strain

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Shear stress = 50,000,000 Pa

3. Shear strain = 0.0006

5. Shear modulus = Shear stress / Shear strain = 50,000,000 / 0.0006 = 83,333,333,333.33Pa

Did we solve your problem today?

Shear modulus (rigidity) measures resistance to shape change under shear.

The math behind it

G = τ ÷ γ, shear stress over shear strain.

50 MPa over 0.0006 strain → about 83.3 GPa.

How does it relate to E?

For isotropic materials, G = E / (2(1 + ν)).
