In Timoshenko’s beam theory (TBT), transverse shear strain distribution is assumed to be constant through the beam thickness and thus requires problem dependent shear correction factor, whereas the ...

In this work, we combined three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with flow perfusion bioreactors to evaluate the gradient effects of scaffold architecture and mechanical stimulation, respectively, on tumor ...

Some of the effects that therapeutic ultrasound has in medicine and biology may be associated with steady oscillations of gas bubbles in liquid, very close to tissue surface. The bubble oscillations ...

A team of international scientists headed by Prof. Marco Salvalaglio from TUD–Dresden University of Technology has found out ...

One of the most important nonlinear rheological phenomena in flowing polymeric materials is the stress overshoot under start-up shear at sufficiently high shear rates γ̇, i.e., γ̇ > τd–1, where τd is ...

We rarely think about how liquids flow—why honey is thick, water is thin or how molten plastic moves through machines. But ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which ...

The bending response of FGM plates is presented based upon a simplified shear and normal deformations theory. The present simplified theory is accounted for an adequate distribution of transverse ...

Hence, transverse shear stresses τ y z and τ z x also remain constant through the plate thickness. It is well known fact that, in reality, transverse shear stresses τ y z and τ z x vary, more or less, ...
