If two equal and opposite deforming forces are applied parallel to the cross-sectional area of the cylinder as shown in the figure there is a relative displacement between the opposite faces of the cylinder. The ratio of Δx\Delta x to L is known as

A

Longitudinal strain

B

Volumetric strain

C

Shearing strain

D

Poisson’s ratio

Answer

Shearing strain

Explanation

Solution

: Shearing strain=ΔxL= \frac{\Delta x}{L}
