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 ...
As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...
The latest of the ASTM standards for determining the shear strength and shear stiffness of materials — composite materials in particular — has just been released. The V-Notched Rail shear test was ...
