Shear

Shear Testing Machine

Force is applied across the specimen rather than along it, so the layers slide against each other and shear strength is read at the point they part.

ASTM D1002

Shear

Apparent shear strength of single-lap-joint adhesively bonded metal specimens.

ASTM D2344

Shear

Short-beam strength — interlaminar shear strength of composite laminates.

ASTM D3039 / D6641 / D2344

Shear

Carbon-fibre laminate qualification — tension, compression (CLC) and interlaminar shear.

ASTM D3163 / D5868

Shear

Lap-shear strength of adhesively bonded plastic and FRP joints.

ASTM D3518

Shear

In-plane shear response by tensile test of a ±45° laminate.

ASTM D4255

Shear

In-plane shear properties by rail shear method.

ASTM D5379

Shear

Shear properties by V-notched beam (Iosipescu) method.

ASTM D7078

Shear

Shear properties by V-notched rail shear method.

Tell us the specimen, not just the standard.

Thickness, width and expected break force decide the grip as much as the method does. Send us those and we will specify the frame, the load cell and the fixture around them.
