Shearing Stresses in Beams and Thin-Walled Members
To understand shear on the flat side of a prismatic beam element, consider the vertical and horizontal shearing forces, and the normal forces, acting…
In studying beam stress distribution, examining an elemental section is essential. To determine the average shearing stress on this face, the…
A cantilever beam with a rectangular cross-section under distributed and point loads experiences shearing stresses. The analysis begins by…
Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it…
Thin-walled members with non-symmetrical cross-sections are vital to engineering structures, offering material efficiency and structural integrity.…
The shear center of a channel section with uniform thickness, height, and width, is determined by computing the shear force in the member and…
The Diffusion of Passive Tracers in Laminar Shear Flow

A simple method to experimentally observe and measure the dispersion of a passive tracer in a laminar fluid flow is described. The method consists of…
The rapid development of X-ray imaging techniques with image processing and analysis skills has enabled the acquisition of CT images of granular…
Many body armor designs incorporate unidirectional (UD) laminates. UD laminates are constructed of thin (<0.05 mm) layers of high-performance…
