The purpose of shear testing is to determine the integrity of material and procedures used to attach two items together. This is done by applying a precisely applied and controlled shear force to the side of the item being tested. In the event of a failure, it is necessary to know the force at which the failure occurred. This information, along with the visual appearance of the separation, is used to determine the reason for the failure. 1, record 2, English, - shear%20testing

Silica Gel Column Chromatography.... Getting reproducibility when doing silica gel(or alumina) separations with column chromatography can be a problem. If you do not carefully control the water/moisture content of the silica gel and the mobile phase, moisture is added to or removed from the silica gel during the separation. This results in retention times that either increase(with water addition to the silica gel) or decrease(with water loss from the silica gel).... The reseacher attempting to optimize the flash chromatography of new compounds should investigate the effect of moisture on the separation being attempted. Various glass chromatographic columns containing silica gel with different amounts of moisture can be run side by side to see which column produces the optimum results. 1, record 3, English, - silica%2Dgel%20column%20chromatography

A double pyrotechnic system is used to separate the fairing. The vertical separation system, which is the same as that designed for the Ariane 4, splits the fairing in two when it separates from the launcher. It has a pyrotechnic cord incorporated into one side of the shell edge and this is bolted to the other half of the shell. When the cord is detonated, it sections the bolt and a flexible fully sealed sleeve pushes the other half of the shell away. 3, record 4, English, - vertical%20separation%20system
