Shear stress

The sign will denote the type of stress. ie. Negative sign – Compressive Stress Positive sign – Tensile Stress Assuming BC and AC are principal planes, i.e. τθ = 0, and σ1 and σ2 are the principal stresses τθ = 12 (σ2–σ1)sin2θ ……7 Now maximum shear stress τθ will be seen to occur when sin2θ = 1, i.e. when θ=45˚. Therefore, the maximum shear stress occurs on planes at 45˚ to the principal planes, and τθ = 12 (σ2 – σ1) ……8 or

across the Northern Aegean Sea, central and mainland Greece, eventually linking with the Hellenic subduction zone (e.g. Barka 1992; Barka et al. 2000; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF is part of a larger zone of deformation called the North Anatolian Shear Zone (NASZ), but currently seismic activity is largely confined to the narrow, mostly through-going NAF (Sengor et al. 1985; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF lies along the boundary between

longitudinal reinforcement. This is due to the shear capacity is not the only contribution of the concrete strength it also adds on the strength of the internal stirrups and the longitudinal reinforcement. They are generally initiated from the flexure cracks and the propagated to the entire cross-section. Shear compression failure: This type of failure of a structure is caused due to the crushing of concrete at compressive zone above the tip of the shear crack. This is basically observed in structural

Area of the Long Point Fault The Long Point Fault is located in Harris County, which covers 83,450 square miles located with in Houston, Teaxas City Limits. Research specifies that there are three sections of the Long Point fault that appear to be active; some sections of the Long Point fault have averaged more than 2 cm per year of vertical offset over the last 20 years. Evidence of the faults concludes it is a natural fault. The reason for activity is not caused by man, even though man’s activities

to normal activities. Several mechanical tests have to be applied for measuring static and dynamic properties of materials and most of them involve applying a force to the material and measuring its displacement. Through these tests, measuring the stress applied and the resulting strain, it is possible to calculate material properties such as the Young modulus, the physical parameter corresponding to the material stiffness. The results of these experiments will depend on many mechanical properties

Aircraft Accident Report NTSB/AAR-01/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: This report is an overview of the accident that occurred on American Airlines flight 1420 that occurred on a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 1, 1999. The plane overran the runway during adverse weather that took place at
