FAQ

What is the Shear Stress?

Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. Shear Stress is usually measured using the Pascal for Stress. Note that the value of Shear Stress is always positive.

Can the Shear Stress be negative?

No, the Shear Stress, measured in Stress cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Shear Stress?

Shear Stress is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Stress. Newton per Square Meter[Pa], Newton per Square Millimeter[Pa], Kilonewton per Square Meter[Pa] are the few other units in which Shear Stress can be measured.
