&tract-When crystalline slip is considered as the micromechanism of plastic deformation in polycrystals, and the slip process is assumed to be rate-independent, the formation of a vertex is predicted on the current yield surface in stress-space. Experiments which were conducted to confirm the existence of such a vertex are known to have produced ambiguous results; e.g. a superimposed shear duri...

In this paper, an optimal longitudinal slip ratio system for real-time identification of electric vehicle (EV) with motored wheels is proposed based on the adhesion between tire and road surface. First and foremost, the optimal longitudinal slip rate torque control can be identified in real time by calculating the derivative and slip rate of the adhesion coefficient. Secondly, the vehicle speed...

iran is one the most tectonically active parts of the world and regularly experiences earthquakes of both low and high magnitude. therefore, earthquake hazard assessment before any kind of building construction and for already built and populated area is essential. a vital first step in this type of study is to identify, map, and determine the activity of faults within a given region. investiga...

The slip phenomena in thin polymer films confined by either flat or periodically corrugated surfaces are investigated by molecular dynamics and continuum simulations. For atomically flat surfaces and weak wall-fluid interactions, the shear rate dependence of the slip length has a distinct local minimum which is followed by a rapid increase at higher shear rates. For corrugated surfaces with wav...

In the present investigation, a mathematical model is developed to study the flow of blood in a multiple stenosed artery employing velocity slip condition under the externally applied transverse magnetic field. Blood is modeled as Herschel-Bulkley fluid to represent the non-Newtonian character of blood in small blood vessels. The expressions for wall shear stress, volumetric flow rate, axial ve...

The role of geometrically necessary dislocations in providing macroscopic strengthening is reviewed with particle reinforcement as an example. The general relation between the Nye tensor and slip along a curvilinear slip line net is derived to emphasise the importance of curvature of slip lines upon the rate of dislocation storage. 2002 Acta Materialia Inc.

[1] We measure an average slip rate of 4 ± 1 mm yr 1 along the Karakorum fault, heretofore considered one of Earth’s greatest strike-slip faults and thought by many to play a key role in Asian deformation kinematics. Levees of a debris flow, and contours of the fan on which it was deposited, have been displaced 40 ± 5 m. Concentrations of Be in boulders from the debris flow yield ages of 11–14 ...

There are contradictory published data on the behavior of fluid slip at high shear rates. Using three methodologies (molecular dynamics simulations, an analytical theory of slip, and a Navier-Stokes-based calculation) covering a range of fluids (bead-spring liquids, polymer solutions, and ideal gas flows) we show that as shear rate increases, the amount of slip, as measured by the slip length, ...

S U M M A R Y Sets of Eto NE-trending sinistral and/or reverse faults occur within the San Andreas system, and are associated with palaeomagnetic evidence for clockwise vertical-axis rotations. These structures cut across the trend of active dextral faults, posing questions as to how displacement is transferred across them. Geodetic data show that they lie within an overall dextral shear field,...
