Snoqualmia, a new polydesmid milliped genus from the northwestern United States, with a description of two new species (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Polydesmidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Snoqualmia, new genus, is described for two species of polydesmid millipeds from the northwestern United States: Snoqualmia snoqualmie, new species, from Washington State, and S. idaho, new species, from Idaho. Males of S.

Coarse-grained description of localized inelastic deformation in amorphous metals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The sequence of shear transformation events that lead to a shear band transition in amorphous metals is described by a spatially random coarse-grained model calibrated to obey the thermodynamic scaling relations that govern flow in a real glass.

Consistency aspects of out-of-plane bending, torsion and shear in a quadratic curved beam element [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Curved beams in civil engineering applications call for out-of-plane bending and torsion under the action of13; out-of-plane transverse shear loads. The design of a quadratic displacement curved beam element capable of13; representing shear deformation ...

Density profiles of a colloidal liquid at a wall under shear flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Using a dynamical density functional theory we analyze the density profile of a colloidal liquid near a wall under shear flow. Due to the symmetries of the system considered, the naive application of dynamical density functional theory does not lead to a

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Generation of coherent magnetic fields in sheared inhomogeneous turbulence: No need for rotation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Coherent magnetic fields are often believed to be generated by the combination of stretching by differential rotation and turbulent amplification of magnetic field, via the so-called alpha effect. The latter is known to exist in helical turbulence, which

Making the green economy: politics, desire, and economic possibility

open access: yesJournal of Political Ecology, 2014
The green economy is put forward as an apposite remedy to both economic crisis and ecological devastation. Policy makers, academics, corporate interests and activists are advancing their goals as part of and through the green economy, a discursive ...

Load-Bearing Performance of Non-Prismatic RC Beams Wrapped with Carbon FRP Composites

open access: yesSensors, 2023
This study investigated the influence of CFRP composite wrapping techniques on the load–deflection and strain relationships of non-prismatic RC beams. A total of twelve non-prismatic beams with and without openings were tested in the present study.

Cosmic Shears Should Not Be Measured In Conventional Ways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A long standing problem in weak lensing is about how to construct cosmic shear estimators from galaxy images. Conventional methods average over a single quantity per galaxy to estimate each shear component.

Experimental observation of shear thickening oscillation

open access: yes, 2013
We report experimental observation of the shear thickening oscillation, i.e. the spontaneous macroscopic oscillation in the shear flow of severe shear thickening fluid.
