Pure shear

In mechanics and geology, pure shear is a three-dimensional homogeneous flattening of a body.[1] It is an example of irrotational strain in which body is elongated in one direction while being shortened perpendicularly. For soft materials, such as rubber, a strain state of pure shear is often used for characterizing hyperelastic and fracture mechanical behaviour.[2] Pure shear is differentiated from simple shear in that pure shear involves no rigid body rotation. [3][4]

If is the stretch ratio applied to the material, then the deformation gradient in pure shear can be expressed as[5]

The linear elastic stress-strain law for the case of pure shear is:
