shear stresses vs shear stress

Both 'shear stresses' and 'shear stress' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Shear stress' refers to the stress experienced by a material when subjected to forces that cause it to deform. 'Shear stresses' is the plural form and is used when referring to multiple instances of shear stress in different parts of a material or structure.

shear stresses

This is correct when referring to multiple instances of shear stress in different parts of a material or structure.

Use 'shear stresses' when discussing the distribution of shear stress in various regions of a material or structure.

shear stress

This is correct when referring to the stress experienced by a material due to forces causing deformation.

Use 'shear stress' when discussing the specific stress experienced by a material or structure under shear forces.
