Explore: Shear (mechanics)

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Originally applied

mechanics is a branch of soil physics and applied mechanics that describes the behavior of soils. It differs from fluid mechanics and solid mechanics

Although the concept of viscosity is commonly used in fluid mechanics to characterize the shear properties of a fluid, it can be inadequate to describe non-Newtonian

physics, mechanics and other areas of science, shear rate is the rate at which a progressive shear strain is applied to some material, causing shearing to the

In solid mechanics, shear flow is the shear stress over a distance in a thin-walled structure. In fluid dynamics, shear flow is the flow induced by a force

and the shearing force per unit area is called shear stress. Therefore, solid mechanics examines the shear stress, deformation and the failure of solid

In solid mechanics, shearing forces are unaligned forces acting on one part of a body in a specific direction, and another part of the body in the opposite

In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that describes forces present during deformation. For example, an object being pulled apart, such

In materials science, shear modulus or modulus of rigidity, denoted by G, or sometimes S or μ, is a measure of the elastic shear stiffness of a material

In continuum mechanics, shearing refers to the occurrence of a shear strain, which is a deformation of a material substance in which parallel internal
