  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. 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.

  4. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Laminar shear of fluid between two plates. =, =. Friction between the fluid and the moving boundaries causes the fluid to shear (flow). The force required for this action per unit area is the stress. The relation between the stress (force) and the shear rate (flow velocity) determines the viscosity.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The Hertzian contact stress usually refers to the stress close to the area of contact between two spheres of different radii. It was not until nearly one hundred years later that Kenneth L. Johnson , Kevin Kendall , and Alan D. Roberts found a similar solution for the case of adhesive contact. [ 5 ]

  8. 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.

  9. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).
