The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

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 ...

A shear test method for composite materials, typically termed Double-Notch Shear, has been in existence for many years and is still used, but not without controversy. It is defined by ASTM ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

In engineering practice, the shear strength of finer grained materials (such as earthfill and tailings) are often characterized through field and laboratory testing. Yet for coarse-grained materials ...
