Shear lag in truss core sandwich beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)An experimental study was conducted to investigate the possible influence of shear lag in the discrepancy between the theoretical and measured stiffness of truss core sandwich beams. In previous studies, the measured values ... -
Shear localization in viscoplastic solids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Shear of small vertical scale observed in the permanent oceanic thermocline.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
Shear resistance of discontinuities in rock.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Shear shock evolution in soft solids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Nonlinear evolution of shear waves into shocks in incompressible elastic materials is investigated using the framework of large deformation elastodynamics, for a family of loadings and commonly used hyperelastic material ... -
Shear strength and deformability of rock joints

Shear wall layout optimization for conceptual design of tall buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In the design of tall buildings, the lateral system that resists wind and seismic loading usually dominates the structural engineering effort; therefore, optimal lateral system design is important for material efficiency. ... -
Shear Wall Layout Optimization in Coordination with Architectural Floor Plans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)The cement industry represents the third largest source of carbon-dioxide emissions in the world. A majority of this cement is used in reinforced concrete construction for the creation of building structures and infrastructure. ... -
Shear wall layout optimization of dynamically loaded three-dimensional tall building structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Deciding on the appropriate layout of shear walls and the thickness of each member is an iterative process that is time consuming and often leads to suboptimal results. Every time the stiffness of the building is modified, ... -
Shear-induced homogeneous deformation twinning in FCC aluminum and copper via automistic simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The {111}<112̄> shear stress-displacement behavior for face-centered cubic (fcc) metals, aluminum and copper, is calculated using empirical potentials proposed by Mishin and by Ercolessi, based on the embedded atom method ... -
Shear-induced migration and clustering mechansms of kaolinite clay particles under the oscillating face seal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Shelf currents, ice and wind : a numerical modeling study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, the effects of sea ice, downwelling favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East ... -
Shells and Stages for Actuated TUIs: Reconfiguring and Orchestrating Dynamic Physical Interaction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)Research on Actuated and Shape-Changing Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has been explored widely to design embodied interactions using digital computation has been explored ... -

"Shelter within my reach" : medium rise apartment housing for the middle income group in Karachi, Pakistan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis identifies the project development processes of medium rise (five storied or less) apartment housing built by the private formal sector, catering to the middle income groups in Karachi, Pakistan. Middle income ... -
Sheltering in place : the limits of integrative bargaining following industrial accidents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This study grew out of an interest in environmental justice and the unique problems faced by neighborhoods located near petrochemical facilities. It also focuses on negotiation theory and how it can be applied under an ... -
Sheltering our homeless : individual and institutional responses to the moral imperative
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
The sheltering roof : "Beneath his low illustrious roof, Sweet Peace and happy Wisdoms smooth'd his brow."
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975)
