Deformation (physics)
In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. Simple shear and deformation (physics) are continuum mechanics.
See Simple shear and Deformation (physics)
Finite strain theory
In continuum mechanics, the finite strain theory—also called large strain theory, or large deformation theory—deals with deformations in which strains and/or rotations are large enough to invalidate assumptions inherent in infinitesimal strain theory. Simple shear and finite strain theory are continuum mechanics.

Fluid mechanics
Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Simple shear and fluid mechanics are continuum mechanics.
See Simple shear and Fluid mechanics
Gradient
In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar-valued differentiable function f of several variables is the vector field (or vector-valued function) \nabla f whose value at a point p gives the direction and the rate of fastest increase.
Infinitesimal strain theory
In continuum mechanics, the infinitesimal strain theory is a mathematical approach to the description of the deformation of a solid body in which the displacements of the material particles are assumed to be much smaller (indeed, infinitesimally smaller) than any relevant dimension of the body; so that its geometry and the constitutive properties of the material (such as density and stiffness) at each point of space can be assumed to be unchanged by the deformation.

Laminar flow
Laminar flow is the property of fluid particles in fluid dynamics to follow smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.
See Simple shear and Laminar flow
Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object.

Poisson's ratio
In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (nu) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

Pure shear
In mechanics and geology, pure shear is a three-dimensional homogeneous flattening of a body. Simple shear and pure shear are continuum mechanics and fluid mechanics.

Rotation
Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as axis of rotation.
Seismic base isolation
Seismic base isolation, also known as base isolation, or base isolation system, is one of the most popular means of protecting a structure against earthquake forces.

Seismic vibration control
In earthquake engineering, vibration control is a set of technical means aimed to mitigate seismic impacts in building and non-building structures.

Shear mapping
In plane geometry, a shear mapping is an affine transformation that displaces each point in a fixed direction by an amount proportional to its signed distance from a given line parallel to that direction.
See Simple shear and Shear mapping
Shear modulus
In materials science, shear modulus or modulus of rigidity, denoted by G, or sometimes S or μ, is a measure of the elastic shear stiffness of a material and is defined as the ratio of shear stress to the shear strain: where The derived SI unit of shear modulus is the pascal (Pa), although it is usually expressed in gigapascals (GPa) or in thousand pounds per square inch (ksi).
See Simple shear and Shear modulus
Shear rate
In physics, shear rate is the rate at which a progressive shear strain is applied to some material, causing shearing to the material. Simple shear and shear rate are continuum mechanics.
See Simple shear and Shear rate
Shear stress
Shear stress (often denoted by, Greek: tau) is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. Simple shear and Shear stress are continuum mechanics.
See Simple shear and Shear stress
Strain (mechanics)
In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a position configuration. Simple shear and strain (mechanics) are continuum mechanics.
See Simple shear and Strain (mechanics)
Velocity
Velocity is the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object.
Young's modulus
Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise.
