Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...

To find the shear force at any point ... support is located along the beam toward the center. In this particular example, the portion of the beam that passes the second support does not experience ...

For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a bolted assembly. However, designers must ...

If a robot is sent to disable a roadside bomb—or delicately handle an egg while cooking you an omelet—it needs to be able to sense when objects are slipping out of its grasp. Yet to date it's ...

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 ...

while in practice the delamination force may also include shear components that are parallel to the substrate surface. In this work, we consider a model system where a rigid cylindrical punch is ...
