Abstract

The simple shear of a rectangular block is an example of an important class of universal deformations that can be achieved by any homogeneous isotropic elastic body subject to surface tractions alone. Such universal deformations play an important role in experimental studies of materials. The analysis of simple shear for the isotropic elastic material is due mainly to Rivlin (1948a); our presentation follows Truesdeell & Noll (1965).
