  2. Shear rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_rate

    For the simple shear case, it is just a gradient of velocity in a flowing material. The SI unit of measurement for shear rate is s −1, expressed as "reciprocal seconds" or "inverse seconds". [1] However, when modelling fluids in 3D, it is common to consider a scalar value for the shear rate by calculating the second invariant of the strain ...

  3. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.

  4. Strain rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_rate

    Similarly, the sliding rate, also called the deviatoric strain rate or shear strain rate is the derivative with respect to time of the shear strain. Engineering sliding strain can be defined as the angular displacement created by an applied shear stress, τ {\displaystyle \tau } .

  5. Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    The following equation illustrates the relation between shear rate and shear stress for a fluid with laminar flow only in the direction x: =, where: τ x y {\displaystyle \tau _{xy}} is the shear stress in the components x and y, i.e. the force component on the direction x per unit surface that is normal to the direction y (so it is parallel to ...

  6. Simple shear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_shear

    This deformation is differentiated from a pure shear by virtue of the presence of a rigid rotation of the material. [2] [3] When rubber deforms under simple shear, its stress-strain behavior is approximately linear. [4] A rod under torsion is a practical example for a body under simple shear. [5]

  7. Shear thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_thinning

    At high shear rates, polymers are entirely disentangled and the viscosity value of the system plateaus at η ∞, or the infinite shear viscosity plateau. At low shear rates, the shear is too low to be impeded by entanglements and the viscosity value of the system is η 0, or the zero shear rate viscosity. The value of η ∞ represents the ...

  8. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    This is only the average stress, actual stress distribution is not uniform. In real world applications, this equation only gives an approximation and the maximum shear stress would be higher. Stress is not often equally distributed across a part so the shear strength would need to be higher to account for the estimate. [2]

  9. Shear velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_velocity

    Shear velocity also helps in thinking about the rate of shear and dispersion in a flow. Shear velocity scales well to rates of dispersion and bedload sediment transport. A general rule is that the shear velocity is between 5% and 10% of the mean flow velocity. For river base case, the shear velocity can be calculated by Manning's equation.
