SAE Transactions, Vol. 115, Section 5: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING (2006), pp. 517-524 (8 pages) The analytic solution of the mode I stress intensity factor for spot welds in lap-shear ...

Shear walls are walls specifically designed to resist lateral loads, transferring the load from the wall above to the wall below and, ultimately, out through the foundation. This is a critical role in ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

With this active tornado season I've had several questions asking about the term wind shear and what it is. We often hear this term when weather is blamed for a plane crash. Sometimes, wind shear is ...

Houston - The Columbia accident investigation board raised the possibility that an unusually strong wind shear a minute into the flight weakened the shuttle's left side. The board also suggested the ...
