American Heart Association type IV plaques consist of a lipid core covered by a fibrous cap, and develop at locations of eccentric low shear stress. Vascular remodeling initially preserves the ...

The 'Shear Stress' Of It Impacts Heart Disease Date: February 18, 2007 Source: Journal of Clinical Investigation Summary: Dutch researchers report that in mice, different types of shear stress ...

Panel B shows that fluid shear stress (shown in a cross section of a blood vessel) is normal upstream of the stenosis (10 to 20 dyn•cm −2), increasing to pathologically high stress (>100 dyn ...

They were also able to identify the specific type of ion channel that is found in nociceptors and is activated by shear stress, called transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1).

A common type of shear test which is frequently carried out on adhesives is known as lap shear testing. Adhesives are utilized in construction, electronic and aerospace applications. They can join ...

A major contributor to shear stress is the type of pump used for transferring fluids such as media, nutrients or cell suspensions. In this context, peristaltic pumps have emerged as the preferred ...

There is friction, or shear stress, on large serum proteins as they move through blood vessels resulting, in some instances, in the protein being stretched and changed, Wan explained. Using ...

Short Beam Shear is an excellent materials screening and quality control test, particularly if a unidirectional composite can be tested. Though this method obtains neither a pure nor uniform shear ...

Bending beam. 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 ...

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 ...
