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 member shows a tensile normal component of strain in the axial x-direction and contractive normal strains in the transverse directions (due to the Poisson’s effect). The rod does NOT experience ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

From falls to football tackles, most blows to the head occur at odd angles. And those impacts trigger simultaneous linear and rotational head motions. The rotating movement in particular causes shear ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 250, No. 1263 (Apr. 7, 1959), pp. 439-459 (21 pages) An intricate repetitive fringe pattern, due to the ...

Measuring strains during mechanical testing can be challenging, particularly when initially developing the capability. Additionally, there are multiple strain measurement methods to choose from, each ...
