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 ...

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 ...

In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...

Jointing is a basic function of engineering. For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a ...

In oil-shear brake and clutch units, friction plates and oil work together to slow and accelerate systems. Consider oil-shear clutching: Upon startup, rotating input discs move toward stationary ...

Allied-Gator’s MTR 40 S shear configured as a second-member attachment. Photo courtesy of Allied-Gator Equipment maintenance: for some it’s one of the necessary evils of running equipment and a dirty ...
