Transverse elastic deformation
Storyboard 
When a torque is applied to the surface of a body, it simultaneously generates an area where the material is compressed and another where it expands, leading to motion perpendicular to the normal vector of the surface. This phenomenon is referred to as transverse deformation.

In the case of shear, the deformation is not associated with expanding or compressing, but with laterally offsetting the faces of a cube. The shear is therefore described by the angle
where
The shear modulus
u
where
In analogy to the strain energy, the shear energy is proportional to the shear angle
Since the strain energy is
$W=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}VG\gamma^2$
with Hook's law for materials
$\tau=G\gamma$
is obtained:
The ratio of energy
$W=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}VE\epsilon^2$
and the shear energy with the angle
$W=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}VG\gamma^2$
can be generalized to the three-dimensional case:
where
With the relationship of the energy
$W=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}VE(\epsilon_1^2+\epsilon_2^2+\epsilon_3^2)$
and Hook's law for continuous material
$\sigma_i=E\epsilon_i$
energy can be written as a function of voltage
where
Since the energy

so we have:
