Results of in situ tests of shear wave propagation are presented and analysed to evaluate the effects of geologic processes, stress history and ageing on the shear modulus of soils. These results show clear tendencies of ...

This paper presents and discuss results of laboratory tests with a compacted clayey sand. Two sets of tests were performed to analyze the shear strength and the small-strain shear modulus (Go) of this soil. The first set ...

The objective of the paper is to study the shear stiffness of Bio Bio sand. To this end, a system to measure the travel time of shear waves in Bio Bio sand samples using bender elements was designed and setup in an adapted ...

Modifications on shear stress-based mechanical forces are associated with pathophysiological susceptibility and their effect on endothelial cells (EC) needs to be better addressed looking for comprehending the cellular and ...

This paper deals with the study of the influence of the lay-up configuration on interlaminar and in-plane shear properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The following laminates were produced by resin transfer ...

The mechanical performance of concrete connection plays an important role in the response of precast concrete structures. Unlike conventional small concrete shear key which is mainly to help with alignment at installation, ...

Interlaminar shear stresses have an important role in behavior of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Low interlaminar shear strength in the crack bridging mechanism of these materials is considered beneficial because produces ...

As células endoteliais (ECs) e células musculares lisas (AoSMCs) são os principais componentes celulares do endotélio. As interações entre estes tipos celulares desempenham funções na homeostase e na estrutura vascular. ...
