<p>In <a href="page.php?w=solid_mechanics">solid mechanics</a>, the <b>shear modulus</b> or <b>modulus of rigidity</b>, denoted by G, or sometimes S or u, is a measure of the <a href="page.php?w=Elasticity_%28physics%29">elastic</a> shear stiffness of a material and is defined as the ratio of <a href="page.php?w=shear_stress">shear stress</a> to <a href="page.php?w=shear_strain">shear strain</a>:where  is the shear stress,  is the shear strain,  is the force,  is the area,  is the traverse displacement,  is the initial length or height.</p>
