Although studies on RC beams under shear have a history record of more than 100 years, many important&#10issues in this context still remain that have evaded attention. The aim of the current study is to study a number of these less investigated aspects of the behavior of RC beams under shear.

The nonlinear mean-field dynamo due to a shear-current effect in a nonhelical homogeneous turbulence with a mean velocity shear is discussed. The transport of magnetic helicity as a dynamical nonlinearity is taken into account. The shear-current effect is associated with the W×J term in the mean electromotive force, where W is the mean vorticity due to the large-scale shear motions and J is the...

1. INTRODUCTION Recently, the studies on the scattering of electromagnetic waves by a cylindrically curved conducting open surface are becoming an important subject for a variety of applications [1]-[4]. When the geometrical ray or the creeping wave is incident on the edge of the cylindrically curved conducting open surface, the geometrical rays and the whispering gallery modes, which cling to ...

The turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor is determined in the presence of rotation or shear. The question is addressed whether dynamo action from the shear–current effect can explain large-scale magnetic field generation found in simulations with shear. For this purpose a set of evolution equations for the response to imposed test fields is solved with turbulent and mean motions calculated fro...

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) distinguish among and respond differently to different types of fluid mechanical shear stress. Elucidating the mechanisms governing this differential responsiveness is the key to understanding why early atherosclerotic lesions localize preferentially in arterial regions exposed to low and/or oscillatory flow. An early and very rapid endothelial response to flow ...

We consider a single Brownian particle confined in a double well potential (DWP) and investigate its response to a linear shear flow by means of the probability density and current determined via numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation. Besides a shear-dependent distortion of the probability distribution, we find that the associated current crossing the potential barrier exhibits a con...

due to the existence of fibrous materials such as plastic fragments, the strength anisotropy of municipal solid waste (msw) materials is the main source of differences between their mechanical response in direct shear and triaxial apparatus. as an extension of earlier research on the mechanical behavior of msw using a large traixail apparatus, results presented in shariatmadari et al. [1] and k...
