FAQ

What is the Shear Force?
Shear Force is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane. Shear Force is usually measured using the Kilonewton for Force. Note that the value of Shear Force is always positive.
Can the Shear Force be negative?
No, the Shear Force, measured in Force cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Shear Force?
Shear Force is usually measured using the Kilonewton[kN] for Force. Newton[kN], Exanewton[kN], Meganewton[kN] are the few other units in which Shear Force can be measured.
