A German-French team of physicists from TU Dortmund University, University of Würzburg, and Le Mans Université has succeeded ...

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 ...

Mechanically fastened joints are often used in structures, including composite structures, to transfer load from one portion of the structure to another. This load is primarily transferred by bearing ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...
