resolved shear stress
1Critical resolved shear stress — is the component of shear stress, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain. It is a constant for a given crystal. Tests have been conducted on single crystals of metals to measure the shear stress required to… …

8Mohr-Coulomb theory — is a mathematical model (see yield surface) describing the response of a material such as rubble piles or concrete to shear stress as well as normal stress. Most of the classical engineering materials somehow follow this rule in at least a… …
9Inversion (geology) — In structural geology inversion or basin inversion relates to the relative uplift of a sedimentary basin or similar structure as a result of crustal shortening. This normally excludes uplift developed in the footwalls of later extensional faults …
