What (who) is vane shear tester - definition

IN GEOLOGY, THE RESPONSE OF A ROCK TO DEFORMATION USUALLY BY COMPRESSIVE STRESS
Shear deformation; Shear Zone; Geological shear; Shear zones; Shear fault

Shear zone         
In geology, a shear zone is a thin zone within the Earth's crust or upper mantle that has been strongly deformed, due to the walls of rock on either side of the zone slipping past each other. In the upper crust, where rock is brittle, the shear zone takes the form of a fracture called a fault.

Shear (geology)

In geology, shear is the response of a rock to deformation usually by compressive stress and forms particular textures. Shear can be homogeneous or non-homogeneous, and may be pure shear or simple shear. Study of geological shear is related to the study of structural geology, rock microstructure or rock texture and fault mechanics.

The process of shearing occurs within brittle, brittle-ductile, and ductile rocks. Within purely brittle rocks, compressive stress results in fracturing and simple faulting.
