Descriptor English: Shear Strength
Descriptor Spanish: Resistencia al Corte
Descriptor fuerza de cizallamiento
Entry term(s) resistencia al cizallamiento
Scope note: Resistencia interna de un material al movimiento de algunas partes de él paralelamente a un eje determinado, en contraste con el estiramiento (FUERZA TENSORA) o compresión (FUERZA COMPRESIVA). Los cristales iónicos son quebradizos porque, cuando se someten a cizallamiento, los iones de igual carga se disponen unos junto a otros, lo que provoca repulsión.
Descriptor Portuguese: Resistência ao Cisalhamento
Descriptor French: Résistance au cisaillement
Entry term(s): Strength, Shear
Tree number(s): G01.374.820
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D033081
Scope note: The internal resistance of a material to moving some parts of it parallel to a fixed plane, in contrast to stretching (TENSILE STRENGTH) or compression (COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH). Ionic crystals are brittle because, when subjected to shear, ions of the same charge are brought next to each other, which causes repulsion.
