Shear is a sideways force. Friction is drag - from any direction.

Shear refers to forces acting parallel to a surface, causing one layer to slide over another. Friction, on the other hand, is the resistance encountered when two surfaces move against each other. In essence, shear involves the internal deformation of material, while friction involves the resistance to relative motion between surfaces.
Friction is the resistance between two surfaces sliding against each other, while shear is the force that causes one layer of a material to slide over another layer. In essence, friction occurs between two surfaces, while shear happens within a material itself.
Shear forces act parallel to the surface of a material, causing it to slide or deform, while friction forces act perpendicular to the surface, resisting motion between two surfaces in contact.
Friction forces occur when two surfaces rub against each other in opposite directions, while shear forces happen when layers of a material slide past each other in the same direction. Friction resists motion between surfaces, while shear causes deformation within a material. Both forces play important roles in materials science and engineering, influencing how materials behave under different conditions.
Friction velocity is not dependent on velocity itself, but it is dependent on the shear stress at the wall. It is defined as the square root of the wall shear stress divided by the fluid density. The value of the friction velocity determines the intensity of turbulence in the flow.
The shear friction model is a method used in geotechnical engineering to estimate the shear strength of soil along a structural interface. It considers the interlocking and interlocking behavior of particles along the interface to calculate the shear resistance. The model accounts for factors such as roughness, normal pressure, and material properties to assess the soil-structure interaction.
