Adiabatic shear band is a term used in physics, mechanics and engineering for a weak region of an object stressed under high strain rates.

A body under very high strain rate forms a highly plastic region within the body called a shear band. In the special case where the body is insulated this leads to an Adiabatic Shear Band. Such shear bands are zones where the object will 'fail' (bend, break or tear). The stress at which failure occurs is dependent on temperature as a factor so whether the material is insulated is a factor.
