Plus shear

Being the edge of a sheared area, a dislocation is a line, but does not, in general, lie on one plane, so its motion is usually three-dimensional. Since shear has two signs (plus and minus) so do dislocations and dislocations of like signs repel, while those of opposite signs attract. In some structures, the Burgers vector is an axial vector, so plus shear differs from minus shear (like a ratchet).

The open squares, half-filled squares and filled squares represent crazing only, crazing plus shear, and shear only, respectively (From Ref. courtesy of J. Mat. Sci.

For dissolving polymer in solvent, the major problem is the small clumps of polymer formed in the viscous fluid. These clumps are difficult to break up. We need sufficient shear combined with axial flow in order to break the polymer quickly and immediately spread the polymer into the liquid for subsequent dissolution. Leave a small gap between the baffle and the tank wall in order to avoid the dead corner of undissolved polymer. If multiple impellers are used, then to save on power consumption, the bottom impeller might supply axial flow plus shear (as an open turbine) with the impeller above supplying axial flow. The Power number for the open turbine might be, for example, 1.2, whereas for axial flow the Power number value might be about 0.3. 

It should be emphasized that all these pressure experiments [2, 4, 9] were performed under conditions that may also involve a substantial amount of shear. An apparatus similar to the original design of Bridgman was used. The experiments thus lack clear definition concerning the degradation mechanism. It should be pointed out, however, it is just this combination of forces, pressure plus shear, which is extant in polymer processing equipment.

Normally, frictional resistance and the shear capacity of the anchors used in a foundation adequately resist column base shear forces. In some cases, however, the engineer may find the shear force too great and may be required to transfer the excess shear force to the foundation by another means such as shear lugs. If the total factored shear loads are transmitted through fiiction plus shear lugs, the anchors need not be designed for shear, but the eccentricity induced by the couple of the applied shear and the shear lug resultant force should be taken into account when designing the anchor for tension.

The heavy, wide roller rides over the material. There is some skidding action where the rollers engage the mass of materials. This gives local shearing plus coarse-scale mixing which is aided by the plows and scrapers.

When we consider many particles settling, the density of the fluid phase effectively becomes the bulk density of the slurry, i.e., the ratio of the total mass of fluid plus solids divided by the total volume. The viscosity of the slurry is considerably higher than that of the fluid alone because of the interference of boundary layers around interacting solid particles and the increase of form drag caused by particles. The viscosity of a slurry is often a function of the rate of shear of its previous history as it affects clustering of particles, and of the shape and roughness of the particles. Each of these factors contributes to a thicker boundary layer. 

Because the shear stress and shear rate can be either positive or negative, the plus/minus sign in Eq. (6-54) is plus in the former case and minus in the latter. For tube flow, because the shear stress and shear rate are both negative, the appropriate form of the model is... 

The maximum shear strain criterion is now applied for the calculation of the creep curve up to fracture for increasing creep stress. The total creep strain of the fibre, q(f), is the sum of the elastic strain, cf, and the viscoelastic plus plastic strain, cj(f),... 

When studying systems with mixed fluid and solid directions, it is important to keep in mind that each solid direction should be allowed to breathe and fluid directions need to be scaled isotropically or constrained to a constant value. Allowing two fluid directions to fluctuate independently from one another allows the simulation cell to become flat like a pancake, which we certainly would like to avoid. As an example, consider Figure 15, in which a lamellar block copolymer phase is sheared. The convention would be to have the shear direction parallel to x and the shear gradient direction parallel to y. No reason exists for the simulation cell to distort such that Lxz = Lyz = 0 would not be satisfied on average, so one may fix the values of Lxz and Lyz from the beginning. As a result, one solid direction exists plus two fluid directions. We can also constrain Lxx to a constant value, because the shear direction will always be fluid and another fluid direction can fluctuate. This result means that we should allow the simulation cell to fluctuate independently in only the directions of...

Willow-weaving classes are increasingly available, and can be both useful and fun, but you could make a start on your own with a simple screen. For this you need a selection of freshly cut willow rods, sorted into bundles of similar length, and a roll of weed-suppressing landscape fabric (see pp.74-75) about 3 ft (1 m) wide to run the length of the screen, plus a metal rod and sledgehammer to make holes, and pruning shears and twine.
