= Simple shear deformation
{synonym}

Simple shear displaces one coordinate direction in proportion to a transverse coordinate while preserving volume. Its <deformation gradient> has a single off-diagonal component $\gamma$. <Simple shear flow> describes the corresponding velocity field rather than the finite deformation.
