What is shear?

Shear, in the context of materials science and engineering, refers to a deformation of a material substance in which parallel internal surfaces slide past one another. It's commonly used in manufacturing processes like cutting, stamping, and forming metals. It is also a fundamental concept in structural mechanics, describing how forces applied parallel to a surface can cause deformation or failure. Shear stress is a measure of the intensity of these forces.
