could not edit my previous reply. I found a table with some values of shear modulus and it looks like it is credible but the closest are two materials, steel and nickel. both 83.9 still some way off 86.7. the table is here: http://www.kayelaby.npl.co.uk/general_physics/2_2/2_2_2.html I'm just...

yes i calculated it correctly, with supervision from the lab supervisor. The bar used was indeed metal. the closest to the value I've found is inconel at 79-80 Gpa

86.7 GPa ...i do need the source, if you happen to find it. It'd be better if you could refer me so i can feel like i did the work lol

Hello lol first post . so I've done an experiment in determining the modulus of rigidity for a bar of an unknown material (torsion experiment). I have been asked to analyse the results, which I still have no idea what that means and find the material with the G value that i have. I've been...
