Vertical wind shear is present nearly everywhere on Earth, since winds typically move faster at higher altitudes than at the surface. It can be stronger or weaker than normal, and that’s ...

The Warner-Bratzler shear test is also useful for educating the general public about their food. For instance, knowing how tender or tough a cut of meat is can help us determine whether to use ...

Too much vertical wind shear, however, can offset the top of the storm. This weakens the wind circulation, as well as the transport of heat and moisture needed to fuel the storm.

Notably, research on partial height web stiffeners in beam-to-column joints has highlighted the role of residual stresses induced by welding in influencing shear panel resistance [1].
