shear stress (countable and uncountable, plural shear stresses)
(physics) the component of stress that causes parallel layers of a material to move relative to each other in their own planes.
For angular jerk the deformation waves are arranged circularly and cause shear stress as shown in the picture to the right, which also might cause other modes of vibration. Source: Internet
Mass movements can be caused by increases in shear stress, such as loading, lateral pressure, and transient forces. Source: Internet
Such a shear stress occurs if the fluid has a velocity gradient because the fluid is moving faster on one side than another. Source: Internet
The characterization of flow or deformation originating from a simple shear stress field is called shear rheometry (or shear rheology). Source: Internet
With this system the shear rate beneath the plate is constant to a modest degree of precision and deconvolution of a flow curve; a graph of shear stress (torque) against shear rate (angular velocity) yields the viscosity in a straightforward manner. Source: Internet
