Shear Strain Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Shear Strain?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
𝜂=tan(ϕ)+cot(ϕ-α)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
𝜂=tan(46.3°)+cot(46.3°-8.56°)
Next Step Convert Units
𝜂=tan(0.8081rad)+cot(0.8081rad-0.1494rad)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
𝜂=tan(0.8081)+cot(0.8081-0.1494)
Next Step Evaluate
𝜂=2.33842388392556
LAST Step Rounding Answer
𝜂=2.3384
