%0 Journal Article %T On the state of pure shear %A Jari£¿ Jovo P. %A Kuzmanovi£¿ Dragoslav S. %A Golubovi£¿ Zoran £¿. %J Theoretical and Applied Mechanics %D 2010 %I Serbian Society of Mechanics, Belgrade %R 10.2298/tam1003229j %X The algebraic proof of the fundamental theorem concerning pure shear, by making use only of the notion of orthogonal projector, is presented. It has been shown that the state of pure shear is the same for all singular symmetric traceless tensors in E3, up to the rotation. %K continuum mechanics %K pure shear %K orthogonal projector %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1450-5584/2010/1450-55841003229J.pdf
