Bolted joints are some of the most fundamental yet incredibly strong connections used in modern engineering and construction.

Dive into the essential world of trusses, the backbone of countless engineering structures. This in-depth video explores what ...

You may think you know static electricity, but its true nature has long eluded scientists. We’ve now made a huge leap towards ...

Welcome to the ME 270 course website for the Summer 2025 term. The material on this site is a complement to the lecture book for the course. And, all material here is accessible without the need to ...

Wearable device-based shear force sensing has been a challenging problem, whereas shear-force sensing plays a crucial role in motion measurement and robot manipulation. This paper presents a ...

Cellular shear adhesion, which is the adhesion between cells and the substrates, plays an important role in cell activities. This article aimed to develop a robotic system with automated cell ...

Friction force microscopy (FFM) of materials with well-defined crystalline surfaces is interpreted within the framework of the Prandtl–Tomlinson (PT) model. This model portrays the interaction with a ...

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to actively utilize shear forces from the continuous phase flow in SE for producing size-tunable monodisperse droplets, demonstrating its ...

For flat slabs, the effectiveness of a shear reinforcement is directly dependent of its capacity of absorb tensile forces and properly transfer them to concrete. Furthermore, they need to be practical ...
