Geography | The stress or force exerted by flowing water on the river bed. Source: European Union. (references) |
Geological | The stress component parallel to a given surface, such as a fault plane, that results from forces applied parallel to the surface or from reinote forces transmitted through the surrounding rock. If you lean against the edge of the door where the latch is, you are applying shear stress to the door. (references) |
Mining | A. The shear force operating in a material, measured per unit of cross-sectional area. See also:stress; shear modulus; punching shear b. The stress component tangential to a given plane. Also called shearingstress; tangential stress. (references) |
