An empirical formula has been found connecting the pressure and temperature dependence of the shear strength of crystalline solids. It contains only two adjustable parameters and has been found to be valid for a variety of materials. The formula should prove useful for calculating the shear strength of materials under pressure and/or temperature conditions where direct measurements are inconvenient or impossible.
