FAQ

What is the Central Shear?
Central Shear is the shear force acting on the surface of thin shells. Generally, they are assumed to be uniformly distributed over the surface. Central Shear is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Central Shear is always positive.
Can the Central Shear be negative?
No, the Central Shear, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Central Shear?
Central Shear is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Meter[kN/m] for Surface Tension. Newton per Meter[kN/m], Millinewton per Meter[kN/m], Gram-Force per Centimeter[kN/m] are the few other units in which Central Shear can be measured.
