  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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]

  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. Stress resultants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_resultants

    Stress resultants are simplified representations of the stress state in structural elements such as beams, plates, or shells. [1] The geometry of typical structural elements allows the internal stress state to be simplified because of the existence of a "thickness'" direction in which the size of the element is much smaller than in other directions.

  8. Strike-slip tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike-slip_tectonics

    Strike-slip tectonics or wrench tectonics is a type of tectonics that is dominated by lateral (horizontal) movements within the Earth's crust (and lithosphere).Where a zone of strike-slip tectonics forms the boundary between two tectonic plates, this is known as a transform or conservative plate boundary.

  9. Sandwich theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_theory

    deformations due to transverse forces, also called shear deformation. Sandwich beam, plate, and shell theories usually assume that the reference stress state is one of zero stress. However, during curing, differences of temperature between the facesheets persist because of the thermal separation by the core material.
