Shear Strength (Adhesives and Sealants) 
The maximum shearing force, per unit area, an adhesive bond will endure before failure. A shearing force on an adhesive bond is created when the two substrates adhered together are forced in opposite directions in the same plane as the bond. Usually expressed in pounds per square inch (psi).

Shear Strength (Corrosion)
The stress required to produce fracture in the plane of cross section, the conditions of loading being such that the directions of force and of resistance are parallel and opposite although their paths are offset a specified minimum amount. The maximum load divided by the original cross-sectional area of a section separated by shear
