A shear band is a localized zone of intense shear strain that forms in materials when they are subjected to shear stress. This phenomenon typically occurs in ductile materials, such as metals and polymers, under conditions of deformation. In engineering and materials science, shear bands are significant because they can lead to localized weakening, which can eventually result in failure or fracture of the material.
