Shearing

Electoral losses have only driven the party further rightward, shearing it of its Northeastern wing.

For shearing stresses the working stress may have 0.8 of its value for tension.

For compression members the shearing area of rivets in butt-joints was made half the useful section of plate in compression.

If the load travels the reverse way, the shearing force at the head of the train is given by the ordinates of the dotted parabola.

It was the unbiased opinion of several wool-dealers present, that the shearing above would yield at least 35 lbs.

It is usually performed in the latter part of October, but is sometimes done immediately after shearing.
