(N/A) Pure shear is a state of stress where the material is subjected to shear forces without any change in volume. $A$ classic example of pure shear is the bending of a cylinder or a beam. When a beam is subjected to a bending moment,the internal layers experience shear stress,which can be approximated as pure shear in specific regions of the material.
