Mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, pins and rivets, have been used for hundreds of years to assemble wood and metal structures. As composites have replaced other materials in structural ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

The flow of lead of different purities under conditions of simple shear has been investigated over a wide range of strain, at different stresses, and mostly at a temperature in the neighbourhood of 27 ...

The Hi-Set Fastening System is a high strength (95 KSI shear) single piece fastener used for automated airframe assembly with squeeze type assembly equipment. As the demands for improved surface ...

Shear flow has been theoretically predicted to suppress the undulation of surfactant bilayers and generate negative tension, which is considered to be a driving force of the transition from the ...

This paper presents a general equation for shear stress in turbulent flow over smooth surfaces at Reynolds numbers ranging from 2 × 10 3 to 6.5 × 10 5 (based on the boundary layer thickness and the ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...
