Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…TGFβ furthers also calcification, so that fibrous cap tensile strength and resistance to shear stress are imparted. This way, a plaque rupture may possibly be averted.…”

Poroelastic behavior and water permeability of human skin at the nanoscale by Oftadeh, Ramin, Azadi, Mojtaba, Donovan, Mark, Langer, Jessica, Liao, I-Chien, Ortiz, Christine, Grodzinsky, Alan J, Luengo, Gustavo S

“…Furthermore, our methods can assess the ability of these individual layers to respond to both compressive and shear deformations. In addition, since human skin is mechanically loaded over a wide range of deformation rates (frequencies), we studied the biophysical properties of skin over a wide frequency range. …”

Mach 3.5 Compression Corner Control Using Microvortex Generators by Gochenaur, Daniel C., Williams, Rhys D., Sabnis, Kshitij, Babinsky, Holger

“…These findings are used to propose a mechanism of VG control, highlighting the role of VGs in enhancing mixing in the separated shear layer, leading to earlier reattachment and an overall reduction in separation length.…”

Phase Change Dispersion Made by Condensation–Emulsification by Fischer, Ludger J., Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…They are manufactured by high shear equipment like rotor-stator systems. A recently published method to produce emulsions by the direct condensation of the dispersed phase into the emulsifier-containing continuous phase is applied on this PCD. n-Decane is used as PCM, and the melting temperature is -30 °C. …”

Explaining the spread in measurement of PDMS elastic properties: influence of test method and curing protocol by Varner, Hannah, Cohen, Tal

“…Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), commonly obtained from Dow as SYLGARD 184, is a ubiquitous such material, which has been integral to the rapid development of biocompatible microfluidic devices and flexible electronics in recent decades. However, reported shear moduli of this material range over 2 orders of magnitude for similar chemical compositions. …”

The Influence of Root Geometry on Soil Cohesion and Anchoring Ability through Geologic Time by Colicci, Vittorio

“…Force laws were then derived to approximate the anchoring contributions of root weight, sediment weight, static friction, and shear strength. This analysis revealed a strong dependence on the span, surface area, and volume of the root system, which were used to normalize values across different geometries. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…Above a threshold value of c/U ≈ 1, separation is eliminated; and, relative to small- c/U cases, turbulence intensity and turbulent shear stress are reduced significantly. The drag force decreases monotonically as c/U increases while the power required for the transverse motion generally increases for large c/U; the net power input is found to reach a minimum at c/U ≈ 1.2 (for fixed U). …”

Seismic performance of corroded reinforced concrete column-slab connections by Sutantyo, Samuel Kurniawan

“…Due to the lack of any shear reinforcement and drop panel, the slab-column connection is susceptible punching failure, especially when the building is also subjected to earthquake loadings. …”

Design of floating photovoltaic structures in coastal waters by Tan, Pek Yeu

“…The rheological properties of the covers will be tested using DMA via small amplitude oscillatory shear test. The experiments will attempt to study the effects of stiffness of cover on the amplitude of cover, the wave attenuation of cover, and the damping effect of the cover. …”

Behaviour of continuous deep beams with unsymmetrical web openings by Tham, Win Yen

“…Due to their dimensions, deep beams are predominantly controlled by shear strength. Precise analytical study on reinforced concrete deep beams has always been a complex issue and the presence of web openings in continuous deep beams exacerbates the situation. …”

Site characterization of reclaimed lands based on seismic cone penetration test by Wang, Hao, Wu, Shifan, Qi, Xiaohui, Chu, Jian

“…New methods for interpreting the downhole-type shear wave velocity, Vs, are adopted. The calculation method for Vs considering the Snell's law instead of the straight ray assumption is recommended for reclaimed lands. …”

Comparative study of composite scarf and strap joints for equivalent repair signature under uniaxial tension by Srinivasan, Dharun Vadugappatty, Padma, S. Ravisankar, Idapalapati, Sridhar

“…Scarf joints are preferred in aerospace composite repairs that offer better strength, flushed surface and nearly uniform shear and peel stress distribution along the bond length. …”
