Yes ? Yes. This assumes the plates are coupled together only at the nail. =20 > In the case of two plates coupled by being pressed together, > fricton takes the place of the nail above and the result is > shear stress exerted ON the two surfaces.

This is just like two rocks = trying to slide past one another - shear stress on the faces of the two = rocks. =20 > In the case of two blocks of wood pushed together.... while > this has two parallel planes of force (not motion) the force > is applied perpendicular to the planes involved... ie > compression (tensil ?) stress on the two surfaces of the > blocks. >=20 >=20 >=20 > >=20 > > Terry Farrell > >=20 > Cheers ! >=20 > RicB >=20 > "The greatest impediment to real communication may in > reality be the use of language" > anon. >=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
