Here is a short introduction into bearing, shear and tear-out stresses in bolted joints and how complex they can be.

Consider the following true story of a catastrophic bearing failure that occurred during prototype testing — and what was done to correct the problem before application installation ...

Shear stress in beams The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for ...

Interestingly, shear stress appeared to be able to activate TrpA1 in a small patch of cell membrane devoid of cellular environment, providing evidence of TrpA1 as a molecular sensor of shear stress.

Since yield stress is commonly a time-dependent property, the measured values can be different, however, a shear rate of 0.01s -1 is normally used and has been found to give good agreement with other ...

Testing Tech: Multiple-fastener, single-shear laminate bearing strength testing Dr. Don Adams (Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah) follows up his HPC January 2008 discussion of ...

A new study uses shear tests and seepage-stress analysis in north China's Liushagang formation to create a model that predicts collapsing pressure and avoids costly drilling delays ...
