The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...

In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...

Wave-induced bottom shear stress is one of the most important parameters in modelling of wave hydrodynamics and coastal sediment transport. A new type of shear plate has been successfully developed to ...

“Clot-busting” fibrinolytic drugs are administered to patients who have had a heart attack or ischemic stroke. These drugs are delivered systemically or, when possible, locally through a catheter ...
