They also measured the «
shear stress» or intensity with which the surfactant drags the water.
Because the blood in the 150 - micrometer - long embryonic heart is so viscous, the speed and turbulence of the blood causes the vessel walls to experience a high
shear stress — like a skateboarder would experience upon falling and sliding across pavement.
In physics,
shear stress is a stress state in which the shape of a material tends to change (usually by «sliding» forces — torque by transversely - acting forces) without particular volume change.
«This unstable state concludes with an actual labquake, in which the shearing block rapidly displaces, the friction and
shear stress decrease precipitously, and the gouge layers simultaneously compact,» he said.
Following a frictional failure in the labquake, the shearing block moves or displaces, while the gouge material simultaneously dilates and strengthens, as shown by measurably increasing
shear stress and friction.

Mechanical stress is important in the physiological functioning of many organs (e.g., stretching in muscles, compression in bones,
shear stress in the circulatory system and in the kidneys).
Interestingly, fluid
shear stress also modulates how tumor cells respond to apoptosis death signals in the bloodstream.
Our lab has shown that physiological levels of fluid
shear stress desensitize white blood cells to bacterial activation signals.
This is a good way to learn to deadlift because it doesn't require as much hip and ankle mobility as conventional and sumo pulling and it puts less
shearing stress on the spine.
As it pertains to knee problems, we need more hip dominant work to reduce
shear stress and reinforce the hamstrings and glutes which support the knee.
In the case of lunges and split squats, narrow stances and forward lunges can increase knee problems due to tibial inclination and subsequently
shear stress.
Do not insist on keeping the legs straight in forward bends; it creates
shear stress on the sacrum.

shear stresses further damage the endothelium.

shear stress.
This flow exerts
a shearing stress on the ocean surface, which results in the deflection of the upper layer of water above the thermocline to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
