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 ...

In my previous column, I briefly cited the Short Beam Shear (SBS) test method as a much more attractive interlaminar shear test method than the double-notch shear test method. The primary attraction ...

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 ...

The popularity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in construction has increased globally. In Indonesia, effort has been made to utilise local wood such as Acacia mangium in CLT production. The ...

Study reveals how uneven thickness, support stiffness and flaws affect bending, vibration and buckling in flexomagnetic ...
