Shear Modulus & Poisson's Ratio
Two slabs with square cross section of different materials with equal sides and thickness and such that and . Considering lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor, we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is . If the shear moduli of material 1 is , then shear moduli of material 2 is , where value of is ________.
