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 ...

Choosing the right meter/mix dispensing machine requires careful evaluation of key material and process parameters to develop a precise specification, ensuring key metrics such as accuracy, output, ...

Rohit Ramnath, Application Engineer at Master Bond, talks to AZoM about lap shear strength and how significant is this property for adhesives. Some of the measures of the strength for an epoxy, ...

In my previous column, I discussed double-shear testing of a single fastener (see “Editor's Picks,” at right). But fasteners also can be subjected to single-shear loading — our subject this time — and ...

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 ...

This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...

As the demands for light-weight composite structures for aerospace, ground transportation, and environmentally sustainable energy systems develop, so do the mechanical testing requirements for ...

A new study uses shear tests and seepage-stress analysis in north China's Liushagang formation to create a model that predicts collapsing pressure and avoids costly drilling delays in hard, brittle ...
