Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

The traditional method for determining yield stress on a rotational rheometer or viscometer was by fitting models to the measured rheograms and extrapolating to zero shear rate. This article discusses ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...

Dutch researchers report that in mice, different types of shear stress induce the production of different soluble factors known as chemokines, and that the chemokine expression pattern influences the ...

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 ...
