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 ...
The Iosipescu Shear and the V-Notched Rail Shear test methods are ASTM standards, ASTM D 5379 1 and D 7078 2, respectively. Both are used primarily for in-plane shear testing, but each can be used for ...
President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...
