What is another word for modulus of rigidity?
Pronunciation: [mˈɒdjʊləs ɒv ɹɪd͡ʒˈɪdɪti] (IPA) 
Modulus of rigidity is a term commonly used in the study of materials science, engineering, and physics. It refers to the measure of a material's resistance to deformation or shear stress when exposed to external forces. There are several synonyms for this term, such as shear modulus, torsion modulus, transverse modulus, or elastic modulus in shear. The term spring rate is also often used synonymously with modulus of rigidity in the automobile engineering industry. Understanding the different terms used to describe the modulus of rigidity is vital to engineers and material scientists who need to accurately measure the mechanical properties of different materials for optimal design and construction.
