This paper deals with an experimental study of flow-induced wave generated on a thin film under shear loading. The experiment is carried out to investigate the deformed shape of the thin film with various values of shear loading, and the wave propagation due to the interaction of the deformed shape of the thin film with the fluid flow in the narrow passage. As a result, it is clarified that the flow-induced wave occurs to the thin film caused by interaction of the corrugated shape of the corrugation due to the shear loading with the fluid flow in the narrow passage. Moreover, it is clarified that the traveling direction of the flow-induced wave is determined by the corrugated shape of the corrugation and fluid flow direction. The flow-induced wave propagates diagonally, almost across the fluid flow direction.

The results of an experimental investigation on the shear strength of structural joints are presented and discussed. Joint typologies generally employed in structural frames of industrial warehouses and intermediate floors are taken into consideration. Specimens were supplied by an industrial shelving manufacturer, in two different configurations: the first one characterized by steel pressed geometrical connectors and the second one consisting in bolted fittings to angular welded supporting plates. A specific testing device has been designed in order to transfer axial loading into shear loading applied to a couple of joints in a symmetrical testing configuration. Quasi-static loads were applied with increasingly intensity steps, until the yielding of the material or the overall structure collapse were reached. Failure modes of the tested joints are analyzed and discussed.
