Jamming transitions transform fluid-like particle systems into amorphous solids with finite yield stress when the particle packing fraction ϕ increases beyond a critical value, ϕ J. In the standard ...

Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...

Although the pathobiology of atherosclerosis is a complex multifactorial process, blood flow-induced shear stress has emerged as an essential feature of atherogenesis. This fluid drag force acting on ...
