Wave-induced bottom shear stress is one of the most important parameters in modelling of wave hydrodynamics and coastal sediment transport. A new type of shear plate has been successfully developed to ...

Three 'direct' measurements of bed shear stress were; (6) hot film probes; (7) inverting Newton's second law to define frictional drag through flow deceleration; and (8) numerical simulation. All the ...

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 ...

Published in Scientific Reports, the study analyzes how shear cracks form and evolve by capturing acoustic emission (AE) signals during direct shear, compression shear, and three-point bending tests.

The principal difference in the mechanical behavior of fluids compared to solids is that when a shear stress is applied to a fluid it experiences a continuing and permanent distortion. Fluids offer no ...

The instructional geotechnical laboratory is used to conduct laboratory sessions that are part of the coursework for undergraduate classes. The lab consists of five triaxial cell setups which can be ...
