in this stress the force acts parallel to the area on which the stress is measured.
microscopically what takes place is that the material is made of several planes and during the shear stress the planes slip over each other like a pack of cards until finally failing.

What is the difference between shear stress and bearing stress?
Sear stress are forces applied in opposition, producing a shearing or tearing force. Bearing stress is a load placed in one direction, such as the weight of a building bearing on the foundation.
Who invented shearing machines?
megha
What the symbol of shear?
The mathematical symbol for shear is the greek letter tau - which is similar to the English letter "t". Shear stress is given in Pascals or Megapascals, as this denotes pressure - force over an area - which then leads to the applied shearing load.
What is stress force?
Stress is a force acting on certain area. Stress equals force divided by area.
What are called principle planes and principle stress?
The principle stress is a maximum tension stress in a body where shear stress is zero and it acts on the principle plane. If a body is under both tension and shear then the principle stress is higher than the initial tension stress. You can calculate this and find the principle plane angle using Mohr Circle analysis or equations.
What is the ratio of modulus of rigidity?
shearing stress to shearing strain
What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What type of stress pulls rocks apart?
Tensional stress.
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
Three types of stress that occer in earths crust?

What is the difference between shear stress and bearing stress?
Sear stress are forces applied in opposition, producing a shearing or tearing force. Bearing stress is a load placed in one direction, such as the weight of a building bearing on the foundation.
What type of boundary produces shearing stress?
Transform Boundary
What movement does shearing stress do?
it pushes rock in to different directions
What type of stress pushes rock in opposite directions?
Shearing
What are some types of stress in rocks?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
What stress causes earthquakes?
There are three types of stress tension, compression, and shearing they all cause earthquakes.
