  2. Fernald Feed Materials Production Center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernald_Feed_Materials...

    In addition, the site was close to Cincinnati's large labor force, the landscape was level making the site's construction easy, it was isolated, which provided safety and security, and it was located 30 to 50 feet above a large water aquifer, which supplied the water needed for uranium metal processing. From 1951 to 1989 Fernald converted ...

  3. Foundry Products Operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundry_Products_Operations

    Some of the Cincinnati local foundries which supplied to the machine tool company included the Blackburn Foundry, Buckeye Foundry Company, the Steel Foundry Company (Cincinnati) and others. In 1889 the screw and tap business was sold off, as the company focused on machine tool business. It was renamed as the Cincinnati Milling Machine Co. (CMM).

  4. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law: . Young's modulus E describes the material's strain response to uniaxial stress in the direction of this stress (like pulling on the ends of a wire or putting a weight on top of a column, with the wire getting longer and the column losing height),

  5. Dilatancy (granular material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilatancy_(granular_material)

    On the other hand, when a granular material starts in a very loose state it may continuously compact instead of dilating under shear. A sample of a material is called dilative if its volume increases with increasing shear and contractive if the volume decreases with increasing shear. [7] [8] Dilatancy is a common feature of soils and sands. Its ...

  6. 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.

  8. Shear (sheet metal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_(sheet_metal)

    A bench shear, also known as a lever shear, is a bench mounted shear with a compound mechanism to increase the mechanical advantage. It is usually used for cutting rough shapes out of medium-sized pieces of sheet metal, but cannot do delicate work. [1] [2] For the small shear, it mostly designed for a wide field of applications. Light weight ...

  9. Direct shear test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_shear_test

    A direct shear test is a laboratory or field test used by geotechnical engineers to measure the shear strength properties of soil [1] [2] or rock [2] material, or of discontinuities in soil or rock masses. [2] [3] The U.S. and U.K. standards defining how the test should be performed are ASTM D 3080, AASHTO T236 and BS 1377-7:1990, respectively.
