shear plane A plane that is parallel to the walls of a shear zone and contains the shear direction (the displacement vector).
How do you find the shear on a plane?
The shear plane angle is the angle of inclination of the assumed shear plane from the cutting velocity vector, as measured on orthogonal plane. It is denoted by βO. It can be expressed in terms of Chip Reduction Coefficient (ζ) and orthogonal rake angle (γO), as given below.
What is the shear angle?
The shear angle is defined as the degree of angle that changes at peak frictional force and at the commencement of the experiment.
