Flexure or Shear

In flexure or shear, as in the previous case of compression, plastics reinforced with short fibers are probably better than those with continuous fibers, because in the former with random orientation of fibers at least some of the fibers will be correctly aligned to resist the shear deformation. However, with continuous-fiber reinforcement if the shear stresses are on planes perpendicular to the continuous fibers, then the fibers will offer resistance to shear deformation. Since high volume fraction (f>() can be achieved with continuous fibers, this resistance can be substantial.

Modulus, loss A damping term describing the dissipation of energy into heat when a material is deformed. It is a quantitative measure of energy dissipation defined as the ratio of stress at 90° out of phase with oscillating strain to the magnitude of strain. It can be measured in tension, compression, flexure, or shear. 

In a product load analysis the structure as a whole and each of its elements together are in a state of equilibrium. There are no unbalanced forces of tension, compression, flexure, or shear acting on the structure at any point. All the forces counteract one another, which results m equilibrium. When all the forces acting on a given element in the same direction are summed up algebraically, the net effect is no load. However the product does respond to the various forces internally.
