were also carried out using distilled water in order to take into account the buoyancy effect of the probe. The conical probe exerts mainly shear stresses on the gel, whereas the spherical and, to a greater extent, the cylindrical probe mainly exert compression stresses. Analysis of the shapes of the force-displacement curves has led to isolation of the shear and compressive deformation occurring in the systems and this, in turn, has enabled the differentiation between the structure and performance

and r is the outer radius. For solid cylindrical shaft: For hollow cylindrical shaft: ANGLE OF TWIST The angle θ through which the bar length L will twist is where T is the torque in N·mm, L is the length of shaft in mm, G is shear modulus in MPa, J is the polar moment of inertia in mm4, D and d are diameter in mm, and r is the radius in mm. POWER TRANSMITTED BY THE SHAFT A shaft rotating with a constant angular velocity ω (in radians per second) is being acted by a twisting

INTRODUCTION The objective of this project is to examine the techniques used in the design of a building. The structural design of this lecture room & office building involves design of floor slabs, stairs, beams, columns, shear walls, foundation and analysis of frames. The building is composed of solid slab, inclined solid slabs & slabs with hole. Live load and dead load analysis is made according to EBCS-1, 1995.After the minimum depth of slab for serviceability

Lim - 008142015 Steven Reid - 007777066 Thomas Leininger- 008403601 Marco Evangelista – 007774076 Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine the shear stress, shear strain, and shear modulus of elasticity of solid cylindrical specimens of steel, brass, aluminum, and a polymer. Procedure: 1. Plug the cord for the machine into the outlet hanging from the ceiling. 2. Zero the drum angle using start, forward/reverse

fluid is at rest, there can be no shear forces and hence no vertical forces on the side of element due to surrounding fluid. Considering upward as positive, sum of all forces = 0, We have P_1 A-P_2 A - ρA(z_2- z_1 )g=0 Or P_2- P_1= - ρ(z_2- z_1 )g So, under the influence of gravity , pressure decreases with the increase height. Equality of Pressure at the same level in a static fluid Since the fluid is at rest, there are no horizontal shear stresses on the sides of the element

consolidation – drained shear strength of a sandy to silty soil. This shear strength is one of the most important engineering properties of a soil, because it is required whenever a structure is depended on a soil shearing resistance. The shear strength is needed for engineering situation such as determining the stability of slopes or cut, finding the bearing capacity for foundation and calculated the pressure exerted by a soil retaining wall. Significance The direct shear stress is a strain – controlled

SureCut Shears, Inc. ___________________________________________________________ Executive Summary The case is about estimating fund requirements for short term sources of finance. In June 1995, Mr. Fisher, treasurer of SureCut Shears arranged a line of credit of $3.5 million with the Hudson National Bank to cover the seasonal sales peak. After going with the analysis, much of these funds were used to fund the capital modernication program. Facing the declining sales, SureCut is facing difficulty

SureCut Shears, Inc. SureCut Shears manufactures household scissors and industrial shears. The distribution for the products was through wholesalers to specialty hardware and department stores. Another distribution line for the cheaper products was to large chains. In this industry the competition was intense. A lot of the competition came from companies that are overseas. Even with a lot of competition SureCut was able to show profits and sales growing steadily in every year since 1958. As

Situation: SureCut Shears, Inc a manufacturer of household scissors and industrial shears has made profits in every year since 1958. Sales and profits had grown fairly steadily, if not dramatically, throughout the period. The company had sufficient capital to cover its permanent requirements over to immediate future. Its short term borrowing from banks was typically confined to the period of July-December of each year, when additional working capital was needed to support a seasonal sales peak
