Shear stress, by contrast, is higher in the center of the panel, and zero at the outer fibers.

Retting is the process of rotting away the inner stalk, leaving the outer fibers intact.

Minimum pulley diameters are limited by the elongation of the belt's outer fibers as the belt wraps around the pulleys.

The fibers near the center of the rope move out, increasing the stress on the outer fibers and causing the rope to fail under as little as half its potential breaking tension.

According to some early Spanish accounts, the bark was left overnight in water to soak, after which the finer inner fibers were separated from coarser outer fibers and pounded into flat sheets.

The loose-weave nature of the outer fiber shell also enables PAMs to be flexible and to mimic biological systems, If the surface fibers are very badly damaged and become unevenly distributed leaving a gap, the internal bladder may inflate through the gap and rupture.

In fibre products like rope used in outdoor applications, product life will be low because the outer fibres will be attacked first, and will easily be damaged by abrasion for example.

This is pullwinding as developed by Pultrex Ltd., and the result is a sandwich cross-section of unidirectional inner and outer fibres, with helical windings, clockwise and anti-clockwise between.

The SB-5 is a cantilever shoulder-wing monoplane with a plywood monocoque fuselage which has an outer fibre glassskin, a single spar wooden wing with plywood skinning, and a V-tail.
