Simple shear

Simple shear is a deformation in which parallel planes in a material remain parallel and maintain a constant distance, while translating relative to each other.

In fluid mechanics

In fluid mechanics, simple shear is a special case of deformation where only one component of velocity vectors has a non-zero value:

V_{x}=f(x,y)

V_{y}=V_{z}=0

And the gradient of velocity is constant and perpendicular to the velocity itself:

{\frac {\partial V_{x}}{\partial y}}={\dot {\gamma }}

,

where ${\dot {\gamma }}$ is the shear rate and:

{\frac {\partial V_{x}}{\partial x}}={\frac {\partial V_{x}}{\partial z}}=0

The displacement gradient tensor Γ for this deformation has only one nonzero term:

\Gamma ={\begin{bmatrix}0&{\dot {\gamma }}&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}}

Simple shear with the rate ${\dot {\gamma }}$ is the combination of pure shear strain with the rate of 1/2 ${\dot {\gamma }}$ and rotation with the rate of 1/2 ${\dot {\gamma }}$ :

\Gamma ={\begin{matrix}\underbrace {\begin{bmatrix}0&{\dot {\gamma }}&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}} \\{\mbox{simple shear}}\end{matrix}}={\begin{matrix}\underbrace {\begin{bmatrix}0&{{\tfrac {1}{2}}{\dot {\gamma }}}&0\\{{\tfrac {1}{2}}{\dot {\gamma }}}&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}} \\{\mbox{pure shear}}\end{matrix}}+{\begin{matrix}\underbrace {\begin{bmatrix}0&{{\tfrac {1}{2}}{\dot {\gamma }}}&0\\{-{{\tfrac {1}{2}}{\dot {\gamma }}}}&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}} \\{\mbox{solid rotation}}\end{matrix}}

Important examples of simple shear include laminar flow through long channels of constant cross-section (Poiseuille flow), and elastomeric bearing pads in base isolation systems to allow critical buildings to survive earthquakes undamaged.

In solid mechanics

In solid mechanics, a simple shear deformation is defined as an isochoric plane deformation in which there are a set of line elements with a given reference orientation that do not change length and orientation during the deformation.^[1] This deformation is differentiated from a pure shear by virtue of the presence of a rigid rotation of the material.^[2] ^[3] When rubber deforms under simple shear, its stress-strain behavior is approximately linear.^[4] A rod under torsion is a practical example for a body under simple shear^[5].

If e₁ is the fixed reference orientation in which line elements do not deform during the deformation and e₁ − e₂ is the plane of deformation, then the deformation gradient in simple shear can be expressed as

{\boldsymbol {F}}={\begin{bmatrix}1&\gamma &0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}}.

We can also write the deformation gradient as

{\boldsymbol {F}}={\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+\gamma \mathbf {e} _{1}\otimes \mathbf {e} _{2}.

Simple shear stress–strain relation

Shear stress, denoted $\tau$ , is related to shear strain, denoted $\gamma$ , by the following equation:^[6]

$\tau = \gamma G\,$

where $G$ is the shear modulus of the material, given by

$G = \frac{E}{2(1+\nu)}$

Here $E$ is Young's modulus and $\nu$ is Poisson's ratio. Combining gives

$\tau = \frac{\gamma E}{2(1+\nu)}$
