FAQ

What is the Maximum Shear Force?
Maximum Shear Force is the highest magnitude of force acting perpendicular to the cross-section of a material, causing shear stress and potentially leading to deformation or failure. Maximum Shear Force is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Maximum Shear Force is always positive.
Can the Maximum Shear Force be negative?
No, the Maximum Shear Force, measured in Force cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Maximum Shear Force?
Maximum Shear Force is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Maximum Shear Force can be measured.
