Blood-flow-induced shear stress acting on the arterial wall is of paramount importance in vascular biology. Endothelial cells sense shear stress and largely control its value in a feedback-control ...

This study presents a precise method for monitoring shear crack development in concrete using acoustic emission analysis ...

The principal difference in the mechanical behavior of fluids compared to solids is that when a shear stress is applied to a fluid it experiences a continuing and permanent distortion. Fluids offer no ...

Here, you can easily see how the laminae slide with respect to each other in the absence of shear stress between the laminae. Beam with shear stiffness Now let’s consider reconsider our laminated beam ...

“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 ...

This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

Part of it is looking at how heart rate, body temperature, and breathing rate change during the shearing. And part of it is analyzing the level of the hormone cortisol — a stress indicator ...
