To evaluate the contributions of each response including moisture content, water activity, color, shear force, and overall acceptability, the synthetic evaluation (S) and membership value (M) were used.
The relationship of the deflection, rotational angle, bending moment, and shear force of the beam proposed by Lancaster and Mitchell [18] is as follows:
The difference in tuning fork oscillation resonance frequency with the free tip in air and with the tip in contact with surface was used as a measure to evaluate the tip length influence on shear force sensor sensivity to acting forces (Fig.
Data analysis was carried out using the general linear model procedure [20] to determine the effect of cut height and diameter on shear force. Linear regression analysis was done to determine the relationships between the shearing force and cut height, diameter, chemical composition, or IVDMD.
Arbitrary quasi-static lateral loads were applied to each of the models, and the shear force distributions up the height of the building were examined in the light of the anomalies reported earlier.
A beam element is said to pass the test if it can reproduce the exact deflection, rotation, bending moment, and shear force for any mesh.
In nonrotating state, the liquid water on surface is mainly affected by the shear force of air flow.
