1Shear stress — SI symbol: τ SI unit: pascal Derivations from other quantities: τ = F / A …
2Shear modulus — SI symbol: G SI unit: gigapascal Derivations from other quantities: G = τ / γ …
3Shear and moment diagram — Shear and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear force and bending moment at a given point of an element. Using these diagrams… …
4Shear strength (soil) — Shear strength in reference to soil is a term used to describe the maximum strength of soil at which point significant plastic deformation or yielding occurs due to an applied shear stress. There is no definitive shear strength of a soil as it… …
5Shear and moment diagrams — Shear and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear force and bending moment at a given point of an element. Using these diagrams… …
6Shear forming — Shear forming, also referred as shear spinning, is different from conventional metal spinning in that in this latter the area of the final component is approximately equal to that of the flat sheet metal blank and little or no reduction in the… …
7Shear strain — is a strain that acts parallel to the face of a material that it is acting on. Normal strain acts perpendicular to the face of that it is acting on. There are two ways to interpret shear strain: the average shear strain and the engineering shear… …
8Shear rate — is the rate at which a shear is applied.imple ShearShear rate is defined using the following equation: dot gamma = frac { u} {h} Where:*gamma = The shear rate, measured in reciprocal seconds * u = The velocity, measured in metres per second *h =… …
9Shear strength — in engineering is a term used to describe the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure where the material or component fails in shear. In structural and mechanical engineering the shear strength of a… …
10Shear — Shear, n. [AS. sceara. See {Shear}, v. t.] 1. A pair of shears; now always used in the plural, but formerly also in the singular. See {Shears}. [1913 Webster] On his head came razor none, nor shear. Chaucer. [1913 Webster] Short of the wool, and… …
