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 the shear stress τ on ...

Tropical Storm Jerry continues to look like a storm that just can’t catch a break. Despite being upgraded slightly in strength, Jerry remains disorganized, with ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...

An array of uniquely positioned microcapacitors gives a robotic glove the ability to sense both skin pressure and shear force, providing touch and feel capabilities similar to a human hand. The ...
