This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

such as the shear stress induced by blood flow on a vessel wall, or perpendicular, such as the compressive or tensile stress induced by weight bearing on bone. In fact, all cells, including those ...

Here, you can easily see how the laminae slide with respect to each other in the absence of shear stress between the laminae. Beam with shear stiffness Now let's consider reconsider our laminated beam ...
