9、armodulus of elasticity.It is important to note that this propertyis not the same as the modulus of elasticity,E,measured intension,flexure,or compression.The relationship betweenthese properties is shown in Annex A1.4.2 The measured modulus of rigidity is termed“apparent”since it is the value obtai
10、ned by measuring the angulardeflection occurring when the specimen is subjected to anapplied torque.Since it is possible that the specimen will bedeflected beyond its elastic limit,the calculated value will notalways represent the true modulus of rigidity within the elasticlimit of the material.In a
11、ddition,the value obtained by this testmethod will also be affected by the creep characteristics of thematerial,since the load application time is arbitrarily fixed.Formany materials,it is possible that there is a specification thatrequires the use of this test method,but with some proceduralmodific
