    Wind Turbines on Cars: Benefits & Challenges

    I hate to throw in anecdotal evidence but in my experience, the regenerative braking currently uses permanent magnets; the timing aspect of the generation isn't there, which lowers your ability to coast. A wind turbine that could be deployed at the right times and be activated more easily, and...

    Wind Turbines on Cars: Benefits & Challenges

    I haven't really seen much commenting on the idea of implementing some kind of turbine generator during braking, but I could definitely see such a system working when applied at the right time. A very noticeable effect of the generator in a hybrid is its lack of ability to coast. I'm sure a...

    Failure Due to Stress or Strain?

    I hadn't thought of that, it appears that there aren't any standards that match my situation exactly, but I will definitely investigate further and see if there is anything I can use. Could you rephrase the question, I'm having difficulty understanding exactly what you are asking? I'm...

    Failure Due to Stress or Strain?

    Sorry I didn’t jump in earlier but , the question actually does pertain to shear specifically, I’m sorry I didn’t make that more apparent. However, I think that as far as failure theory goes, the same general principles should apply to both normal and shear stress. I think the largest issue...

    Failure Due to Stress or Strain?

    Currently I am studying the mechanical properties of artery tissue, and was tasked with determining if the tissue fails due to shear stress or shear strain. I have always worked under the assumption that they go hand in hand with each other, but the nature of this question obviously suggests...
