The engineer inspected the shear steels for signs of fatigue before approving the design.

Engineers compared the shear strengths of different adhesive joints before finalizing the design.

The researchers measured the shear viscosities of the polymer solutions at different temperatures to understand their flow behavior.

Engineers calculated the shear centres of the irregular cross-sections to predict the beam's lateral behaviour.

The geologist documented several shear lines along the fault during the field survey.

Modern high-rise buildings often rely on shear walls to provide lateral stability during earthquakes.

At dawn, the shearing sheds along the valley filled with farmers and the bleating of nervous sheep.

Shear hogs are surprisingly useful on the remote farm when no sheep shearers are available.

I decided to purchase shears with removable cutters and a strong spring at the back to make pruning the old oak easier.

The gardeners reached into the shed and selected several pairs of shears before starting the pruning.
