Size effects on residual stress and fatigue crack growth in friction stir welded 2195-T8 aluminium - Part I: Experiments [PDF]
Residual stress fields were measured in three different sizes of Compact-Tension (C(T)) and eccentrically loaded single edge notch (ESE(T)) specimens containing transverse or longitudinal welds. The effect of size on residual stress profiles was studied.

Initiation mechanism of cracks of rock in compression and shear considering T-stress
In the studies on the initiation mechanism of cracks of rock in compression and shear, the traditional fracture theory only considers the singular stress (r1/2 term) of the elastic stress state near a crack tip in the Williams’ series expression, and ...

Closed form solutions of T-stress in plane elasticity crack problems [PDF]
The T-stress is considered as an important parameter in linear elastic fracture mechanics. In this paper, several closed form solutions of T-stress in plane elasticity crack problems in an infinite plate are investigated using the complex potential ...

Décollement geometry controls on shallow very low frequency earthquakes
Recent studies have documented the occurrence of shallow very low frequency earthquakes (VLFE) in subduction zones. The heterogeneity of the materials or stresses that act on the plate interface results in the variable slip rate.

Fluid shear stress enhances T cell activation through Piezo1
Background T cell activation is a mechanical process as much as it is a biochemical process. In this study, we used a cone-and-plate viscometer system to treat Jurkat and primary human T cells with fluid shear stress (FSS) to enhance the activation of ...

T-cadherin signaling in endothelial cells [PDF]
The cadherin superfamily comprises transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate calciumdependent homophilic cell-cell adhesion. In addition to their pivotal role in mechanical adhesion between cells, cadherins have multiple functions in tissue ...

Stress is a Noun! No, a Verb! No, an Adjective!: Bernard T. Engel [PDF]
It has been my experience, both in laboratory experiments and in clinical studies, that the term stress has not been useful. In fact, it often seems to inhibit rather than facilitate communication either among scientists or between investigators and ...
