21. If it were a fragile solid, it would respond plastically to shear stress , however small. 22. Collins has concentrated his research effort on understanding how cracked reinforced concrete resists shear stress . 23. Von Willebrand factor is mainly active in conditions of high blood flow and shear stress . 24. A dilatant is a Non-Newtonian fluid where the shear viscosity increases with applied shear stress . 25. When these are fitted carefully the hull can carry shear stresses well and stay watertight. 26. The variations in the coefficient were later generalized as a function of dimensionless shear stress : 27. Thus they are the lines which join the points with equal maximum shear stress magnitude. 28. The formula uses the above nondimensionalization for shear stress , 29. Lower angle faults are more favourable as the resolved shear stress on the plane is higher. 30. Shear stress on embryonic mouse and chicken vasculature ranges between 1 5 dyn / cm2.
