The phrase "tangential shift" is a correct and usable term in written English, particularly in technical or academic writing.
It refers to a change in direction or focus that is not directly related to the main topic, but is still somewhat connected or related. Example: The speaker's remarks about the economy were met with confusion, as they seemed to be a tangential shift from the main discussion about social issues.
The relative tangential shift of the surfaces arises within the intercontact gap due to the action of the tangential stress.
The contact plane problem is reduced to a set of singular integral equations for height of intersurface gap and relative tangential shift of the boundaries.
The 'modified eversion theories' of Sheldon (1912), Northcutt and Braford (1980), and Yamamoto et al. (2007), just discussed, have in common that they all postulate a tangential shift of one or more pallial cell masses.
Across the crack surfaces in contact, there are tangential displacement shift and no normal displacement gap.
Three of the constraints (known as the momentum or diffeomorphism constraints) are responsible for shifting data tangential to the initial surface and, thus, are related to the shift vector field.
Unfortunately, this is true for many European countries, and that co-ordination problem has weakened Europe's response to Russian aggression.One of the more interesting shifts in Dutch politics to come out of the MH17 disaster has been a tangential one: Dutch conservatives have shifted noticeably towards sustainable energy as a way of ending dependence on Russian fossil fuels.
The second half of "You Are Here" bears only a tangential relation to the first, shifting focus from feats of navigation to the design of public spaces.
Fig. 6 Distinguishability of the single signal photons in the two tilted and thus in the reference plane shifted TEM00-modes in tangential direction and measured in coincidence with the reference idler photon.
The works by Ms. Tower's students were from a different, if tangential, universe, and they put the generational shift in high relief.
Under uniaxial compression, the laminate without phase shift has the lowest maximum strength and tangential stiffness and the laminates with 4 mm phase shift has the highest maximum strength and the highest tangential strength.
The results show that phase shift has significant influence on the homogenized tangential stiffness and the failure strength particularly under uniaxial compression.
