Can any one post the Shear modulous of elasticity for Industerial rubber (used in rubber couplings)?
 
If the value of Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (u) are known, the shear modulus (G) can be calculated.<br>
<br>
G = E/[2(1+u)]<br>
<br>
At any rate, the manufacturer should be able to supply these values for you.

The rubber formulations for couplings can vary quite alot by design. I recommend contacting the manufacturer for information.
