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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
