Stress caused by forces operating parallel to each other but in opposite directions.

The force per unit area required to sustain a constant rate of fluid movement. Mathematically, shear stress can be defined as: τ = F/A, where τ = shear stess F = shear force A = Area acted on by the s [..]

The stress on an object operating parallel to the slope on which it lies.

Shear stress is the stress component parallel to a given surface, such as a fault plane, that results from forces applied parallel to the surface or from remote forces transmitted through the surround [..]

Frictional force overcome in sliding one "layer" of fluid along another, as in any fluid flow. The shear stress of a petroleum oil or other Newtonian fluid at a given temperature varies dire [..]

Load per unit area parallel to the plane of contact.

A unit of frictional force overcome in sliding one layer of fluid along another. This is typically measured in pounds per square foot, with pounds representing the frictional force, and square feet re [..]

Shear stress is the result of the force that is generated in a melt to overcome its resistance to a particular flow situation. Shear stress is the product of a material and shear rate.

A tangential force divided by the area (FORCE/AREA) on which it is applied. The shear stress is equal to the viscosity multiplied by the shear rate (measured in units of pressure, i.e., MPa or psi). A [..]

Produced when two plates slide past one another or by one plate sliding past another plate that is not moving

A shear stress$\tau $ is a stress in a sectional area A that is induced by a transverse Force ${{F}_{t}}$ (shear force). It is calculated as follows: $\tau =\frac{{{F}_{q}}}{A}$.Shear stresses in bodi [..]

A unit of frictional force overcome in sliding one layer of fluid along another. This is typically measured in pounds per square foot, with pounds representing the frictional force, and square feet representing the area of contact between the sliding layers.

the frictional force per unit area exerted on a streambed by flowing water. An important factor in the movement of bed material and description of habitat for some organisms.

Stress acting parallel to an imaginary plane cut through an object.

frictional force overcome in sliding one “layer” of fluid along another, as in any fluid flow. The shear stress of a petroleum oil or other Newtonian fluid at a given temperature varies directly with shear rate (velocity). The ratio between shear stress and shear rate is constant; this ratio is termed viscosity of a Newtonian fluid, the greater the [..]

(physics) the component of stress that causes parallel layers of a material to move relative to each other in their own planes.
