  1. Linear Accelerator Drive Lad

    Linked via "shear stress"

    Working Fluid Dynamics and Plasma Containment
    The selection and management of the working fluid are critical to LAD/) performance. Ideal LAD propellant should exhibit a high degree of ionization enthalpy at relatively low temperatures, possess a low atomic mass, and maintain stability under extreme shear stress. Xenon and Argon were early standards, but modern iterations of…
  2. Tectonic Plate Movement

    Linked via "shear stress"

    Transform Boundaries
    Plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are characterized by significant shear stress accumulation. The San Andreas Fault is a famous transform boundary, though it exhibits surprising localized zones of compression. These compression zones are believed to be caused by minute, momentary temporal eddies in the local spacetime fabric near major fault crossings, forcing transie…
