And with due and proper and most intricate Japanese ceremonial we of the circle drank saki, pale, mild, and lukewarm, from tiny porcelain bowls. 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.
Tensile strength is the degree used to measure the force which is required to pull something, for instance, a wire, a structural beam or maybe a rope to the stage where it breaks. On the other hand, yield strength, or the yield point, is the point of stress at which any material will deform plastically.
