The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

In my previous column, I noted that the shear strength and shear stiffness of the core material in a sandwich panel can be determined in situ while performing flexural tests to evaluate other sandwich ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

Pins are typically used under primarily shear loading. Pins are typically used under primarily shear loading. They are separated into two groups: semipermanent and quick release. These general design ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

Wind blades are commonly made by infusing top and bottom blade shells separately, then adhesively bonding them together around a prefabricated shear web. The current state of the art leaves much to be ...

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 ...
