unusual facts about shear stress


Vacuum filler

The filled mould is “moved” away from the filling area, it is detached from the flow of product by means of a simultaneous clipping movement and then ejected mechanically or pneumatically into transportation containers or into thermal treatment media.


Christian Otto Mohr

In 1882, he famously developed the graphical method for analysing stress known as Mohr's circle and used it to propose an early theory of strength based on shear stress.

Fluid

These properties are typically a function of their inability to support a shear stress in static equilibrium.

Stokes boundary layer

Harmonic motion, parallel to a plane rigid plate, will result in the fluid near the plate being dragged with the plate, due to the viscous shear stresses.

Arteriogenesis

An increase in shear stress causes an increase in the number of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) molecules expressed on the surface of vessel walls as well as increased levels of TNF-α, bFGF, and MMP.

Cardiovascular pathology

In contrast, at the lateral walls (modeled best at the carotid bifurcation), shear is low at best and often becomes turbulent or non-laminar, producing oscillating vectors of shear stress.
