Shear stresses in an asphalt surface under various aircraft braking conditions

Analysis of Keratin Fibre Damage under Various Surface Treatment Conditions

This paper investigates the effect of three different treatments, namely (i) sunlight exposures, (ii) bleaching and (iii) perming on the damage of the keratin fibres (with the use of human hair). Scanning electron microscopy was applied to examine the surface morphology of the samples. Hair samples appeared to be rougher and their scales diminished after the treatments. The degree of colour cha...

non-linear study of various slit shear walls in steel structures

seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...

Characterization of Epoxy Resin (SU-8) Film Using Thickness-Shear Mode (TSM) Resonator under Various Conditions

Shear Viscosity under Shock-Loading Conditions

Although we rarely see a shock wave in everyday life, we experience them upon hearing the sound of an explosion, the bang of a gunshot, or the crack of a whip. In addition, objects that travel at supersonic speeds, such as bullets and missiles, also generate shock waves. During a typical shock-loading process, large pressures generated at the shock front can lead to an increase in the reactants...

Platelet function under high shear conditions.

Blood platelets are the first line of defense against bleeding and as such involved in the haemostatic repair of damaged vasculature. Their true prowess seems to be displayed under high shear conditions where platelets interact with a variety of plasma proteins, all of which are tightly regulated to close the leak but at the same time prevent lumen occlusion and thromboembolism. The first task ...
