Exoelectrogenic biofilm growth in shearing flows
Microbial biofouling occurs when a biofilm adheres to materials involved in liquid transport causing economic loss through corrosion and drag losses on ship hulls, and in oil and food distribution. Microorganisms interacting with surfaces under these open channel flows contend with high shear rates …

Shearing, ploughing, and wear in orthogonal machining
… cutting forces are due primarily to the bulk shearing of the workpiece material in a narrow region called the shear zone. However, under certain conditions, such as finishing cuts or a worn tool, force components due to the rubbing and ploughing of the edge or wear land becomes significant. …

Analyzing internal shearing in compound landslides using MPM
… offered by basal shear surfaces, internal shearing also influences the stability and kinematics of compound landslides. For compound landslides, internal shearing is essential to develop feasible sliding mechanisms. The internal distortion is caused by the formation of shear bands that …

Shearing waves and the MRI dynamo in stratified accretion discs
… We investigate numerically 3D hydrodynamic shearing waves with a conserved Hermitian form in an isothermal disc with vertical gravity, and describe the associated symplectic structure. We continue with a numerical investigation into the linear evolution of the MRI and the undular magnetic …

A high-deformation electric soft robotic gripper via handed shearing auxetics
… soft robotic actuators built from handed shearing auxetics (HSAs). Soft robots - robots made out of more compliant materials such as rubber and silicone - are significantly more robust and safer than their rigid-bodied counterparts due to their intrinsic compliance. However, existing soft …

Enhanced heterogeneous nucleation on oxides in Al alloys by intensive melt shearing
… Al alloys have been achieved by intensive melt shearing using the melt conditioning by advanced shearing technology (MCAST) without deliberate grain refiner additions. Such grain refinement has been attributed to the enhanced heterogeneous nucleation on the dispersed oxide particles. It has been …

The potential role of shearing load in the development of toe tip necrosis syndrome
Toe tip necrosis syndrome (TTNS) is defined as a hind limb lameness disorder of feedlot cattle. TTNS is characterized by separation of the white line, necrosis of the third phalanx (P3) and abscess formation. The reason for white line separation with TTNS is unclear. One potential cause is that …

An experimental method for visualizing undrained shearing failure in a transparent soft clay surrogate
… disturbance of the soil sample or methods of shearing along a transparent surface. Additional existing methods involved seeding of the soil with various markers creating a non-homogenous soil mixture, adding potential sources for error. None of the previous attempts to characterize the …

On the Use of Shearing Interferometry for Slope and Curvature Measurements of Thin Plates
The method of shearing interferometry is used for the slope and curvature measurement of thin plates. Several methods are proposed for a plate model with a specularly reflecting surface. Slope contours are also obtained for a diffusely reflecting model.

Shearing on the Great Glen Fault: Kinematic and Microstructural Evidence Preserved at Different Crustal Levels
… sedimentary rocks for brittle upper-crustal shearing on the GGF. However, evidence for high-temperature crystal plastic shearing at deeper crustal levels on the GGF, potentially of Silurian to Early Devonian age, is limited. During summer 2022, suites of oriented and plastically deformed …

Improved Organic Semiconductor Thin-Film Formation through the Addition of Vibrations to the Solution Shearing Method
… and deposition conditions for the solution shearing of organic semiconductors for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are investigated. Electrical performance for OFETs is currently still limited by the charge carrier mobility, especially when high fabrication speeds are required. In …

Behavior of Polymer Solutions and Melts in Shearing and Elongational Flow Using Streak Photography and Birefringence
An experimental analysis has been carried out for the kinematics of a Newtonian (glycerin solution) and a non-Newtonian (polyacrylamide solution) fluid undergoing flow past a radially oriented cylinder in both a converging and uniform flow field. The glycerin and polyacrylamide solutions are found …

Analytical solutions for the statics and dynamics of rectangular laminated composite plates using shearing deformation theories
The Levy-type analytical solutions in conjunction with the state-space concept are developed for symmetric laminated composite rectangular plates. Combinations of simply-supported, free and clamped boundary conditions are considered. The solutions are obtained for the first-order and higher-order …
