1 If part of something, especially something made of metal, shears, it breaks into two pieces, usually because of a sideways force: --
2 movement in the plates in the surface of the earth that causes them to change shape or break --
4 movement in the plates in the surface of the earth that causes them to change shape or break --
We conclude this paper by showing that the most basic closed intervals can be realized as rotation sets for maps homotopic to shears.
They have computed some of the properties of a suddenly sheared isotropic turbulence, discarding triple velocity covariances but keeping pressure-velocity covariances.
The shearing effect of buoyancy-driven currents, and hence the dispersion, should decrease markedly at spring tides owing to increased lateral mixing.
We prove that the shearing stiffness coefficient can be reconstructed from the frequency response function of the system evaluated at one end of the beam.
Relationship between horizontal displacement of the conical feeler and shearing force.
Cerebral atrophy increases the vulnerability of bridging veins to shearing forces and so the elderly are more susceptible.
The eclogite sheets and pods are generally sheared and retrogressed to amphibolites at the margins of such bodies.
Where locally dominant, it results in the formation of a vortex lattice with a resistance to shearing motions.
