noun
shear modulus
Technical term in materials science and engineering; refers to the ratio of shear stress to shear strain.
せん断剛性は材料のねじれに対する硬さを表す。
Shear modulus represents a material's stiffness against twisting.
Standard technical spelling using the simplified kanji せん断.
Alternative spelling using the traditional kanji 剪断; less common in modern technical writing.
Compound of せん断 (shear) and 剛性 (rigidity, stiffness). The term is a direct technical translation of the English 'shear modulus'.
