Shear (Adhesives and Sealants)

The effect of forces acting in opposite but parallel directions.

Shear (Climatology)

See wind shear

Shear (Construction)

A force that causes parts of a material to slide past one another in opposite directions

Shear (Corrosion)

That type of force that causes or tends to cause two contiguous parts of the same body to slide relative to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact

Shear (Hunting)

A quasi-horizontal layer moving at a different velocity relative to the layer directly below and/or above.

Shear (Metal)

A type of cutting operation in which the metal object is cut by means of a moving blade and fixed edge or by a pair of moving blades that may be either flat or curved.That type of force that causes or tends to cause two contiguous parts of the same body to slide relative to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact.

Shear (Weather)

It is the rate of change over a short duration. In wind shear, it can refer to the frequent change in wind speed within a short distance. It can occur vertically or horizontally. Directional shear is a frequent change in direction within a short distance, which can also occur vertically or horizontally. When used in reference to Doppler radar, it describes the change in radial velocity over short distances horizontally.

Shear (Wood)

The tendency of wood fibers to slide longitudinally.
