This video shows Admet’s adhesive lap joint shear strength test similar to ASTM D1002. Shear joints provide uniform stresses across the bond area thus optimizing the strength of joints. The shear ...

The 4013 Averaging Extensometers from Epsilon are designed specifically for performing tests in compliance with ASTM D5656, standard test method for thick-adherend metal lap-shear joints for ...

Dr. Don Adams introduces HPC readers to the The V-Notched Rail shear test method, approved as ASTM Standard D 7078-05 by ASTM Committee D-30 in March of 2005.

However, it is still not clear which standard is more suitable for SMC material characterization. In this work, a comparative study is conducted by performing two independent Digital Image Correlation ...

Single-lap shear (SLS) joints are straightforward to manufacture. This makes them especially attractive for testing polymer composite welded joints. Owing to local heating, which is characteristic of ...

This shear loading may be obtained by applying either a tensile or a compressive force to the bonded assembly. ASTM C 394, "Standard test Method for Shear Fatigue of Sandwich Core Materials,"permits ...
