Description
The ability of a material to resist failure when subjected to pressures that produce an opposite but parallel sliding motion between two contiguous planar pieces of the material. Shear strength is usually measured in pounds per square inch or kilograms per square centimeter. A high shear strength indicates that a material is strong. and unlikely to delaminate.
