      On shear deformable beam theories: The frequency and normal mode equations of the homogeneous orthotropic bickford beam 

      Soldatos, Kostas P.; Sophocleous, Christodoulos (2001)
      This paper provides a step forwards the construction and documentation of the frequency equations and the characteristic functions of a general three-degrees-of-freedom theory that describes the plane motion of shear ...

      Shear-induced nanometer and micrometer structural responses in nanocomposite hydrogels 

      Loizou, Elena; Porcar, L.; Schexnailder, P.; Schmidt, G.; Butler, P. (2010)
      The structural responses of a polymer-clay nanocomposite hydrogel to an imposed shear field are investigated from the nanometer to the micrometer length scales. The effects of polymer molecular weight and concentration of ...
