Symbol: γ
Definition: quantity of dimension 1 equal to the ratio of displacement Δx of one surface of a layer of thickness d to the other surface parallel to it, to this thickness, thus γ = Δx / d

NOTE In anisotropic media, shear strain may depend on the orientation of the layer and may be described by a tensor.
