Understanding Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams
This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently ...
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 ...
Wearable visible light communication systems face fundamental limitations in dense multi-input multioutput configurations due to signal crosstalk between channels. Here, we demonstrate shear-aligned ...
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 ...
This study demonstrates a shear-assisted production of monodisperse droplets with tunable sizes using slit-based step emulsification (SE) devices. A single-nozzle device (17 μm in height (h), 133 μm ...
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 ...
The governing differential equation, expressions for moments and shear forces of the proposed theory have a striking resemblance to the corresponding expressions of classical plate theory. The ...
