  2. Oblique subduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_subduction

    During oblique subduction, the convergence and coupling between two plates create horizontal shear stress on the overriding plate. [10] Early studies suggested that horizontal shear is likely to concentrate in vertical planes. [10] Together with the field measurements on seismicity. [10]

  3. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The shear strain, and hence the shear stress, across the thickness of the plate is not neglected in this theory. However, the shear strain is constant across the thickness of the plate. This cannot be accurate since the shear stress is known to be parabolic even for simple plate geometries.

  4. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The region between these two points is named the boundary layer. For all Newtonian fluids in laminar flow, the shear stress is proportional to the strain rate in the fluid, where the viscosity is the constant of proportionality. For non-Newtonian fluids, the viscosity is not constant. The shear stress is imparted onto the boundary as a result ...

  5. Reissner-Mindlin plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reissner-Mindlin_plate_theory

    The form of Reissner-Mindlin plate theory that is most commonly used is actually due to Mindlin and is more properly called Mindlin plate theory. [3] The Reissner theory is slightly different. Both theories include in-plane shear strains and both are extensions of Kirchhoff–Love plate theory incorporating first-order shear effects.

  6. Strain partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_partitioning

    Block diagram illustrating the difference between homogeneous and partitioned strain within transpressive and transtensive tectonic regimes. The partitioning of strain occurs through the development of a strike slip or shear zone (shown with red arrows) across the actively deforming region (brown).

  7. Shear rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_rate

    The shear rate for a fluid flowing between two parallel plates, one moving at a constant speed and the other one stationary (Couette flow), is defined by ˙ =, where: ˙ is the shear rate, measured in reciprocal seconds;

  8. Shear flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_flow

    In these instances, it can be useful to express internal shear stress as shear flow, which is found as the shear stress multiplied by the thickness of the section. An equivalent definition for shear flow is the shear force V per unit length of the perimeter around a thin-walled section. Shear flow has the dimensions of force per unit of length. [1]

  9. Parallel-plate flow chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-Plate_Flow_Chamber

    The parallel-plate flow chamber, in its original design, is capable of producing well-defined wall shear-stress in the physiological range of 0.01-30 dyn/cm 2.Shear stress is generated by flowing fluid (e.g., anticoagulated whole blood or isolated cell suspensions) through the chamber over the immobilized substrate under controlled kinematic conditions using a syringe pump.
