A plane element is subjected to a shear stress τ = 360MPa which results to a shear strain σ = 0.008rad.
a) determine the shear modulus G of the element
b)What is the horizontal displacement, d, of the element if te height of the element is equal to 50mm
I worked out part a to be 45GPa (360*10^6/0.008), but not entirely sure.
Thank you for your help
