Shear strain
Shear strain is the components of a strain at a point that produce changes in shape of a body (distortion) without a volumetric change. That is, the tangent of the angular change in orientation of two initially perpendicular lines . Approximately equal in magnitude to the angle itself in radians for infinitesimal strains.
