Shear modulus in viscoelastic solid $^4$He [PDF]
Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2010 The complex shear modulus of solid $^4$He exhibits an anomaly in the same temperature region where torsion oscillators show a change in period. We propose that the observed stiffening of the shear modulus with decreasing temperature can be well described

Validity of measurement of shear modulus by ultrasound shear wave elastography in human pennate muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ultrasound shear wave elastography is becoming a valuable tool for measuring mechanical properties of individual muscles. Since ultrasound shear wave elastography measures shear modulus along the principal axis of the probe (i.e., along the transverse ...
