No mild saki for them, but square faces illicitly refilled with corrosive fire that flamed through their veins and burst into conflagrations in their heads.
Shear strength is a term used in soil mechanics to describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. The shear resistance of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts.
Maximum unit stress that a material is capable of resisting under axial tensile loading, based on the cross sectional area of the specimen before loading. Tensile strength is often used as a measure of fastener strength; itis the load required to pull open the fastener. Print | Cite This Source | Link to This Page.
