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 ...

A cone measuring system is most suitable when the plate set up is used on the rheometer because it ensures uniform shear stress across the entire cone surface, which, in turn, ensures uniform yield of ...

Liposomes are well-established drug delivery systems 1 and are vesicular in shape with an aqueous inner cavity. They are formed spontaneously when amphiphatic phospholipids contact water and align ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...
