In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...
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 ...
Single-lap shear (SLS) joints are straightforward to manufacture. This makes them especially attractive for testing polymer composite welded joints. Owing to local heating, which is characteristic of ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT Failure modes of friction stir spot welds in lap-shear specimens of dissimilar high strength dual phase steel (DP780GA) and hot ...
As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.
The Norwegian Navy minesweeper uses Araldite 2015 epoxy adhesive from Huntsman Advanced Materials to bond fiberglass-reinforced polyester panels to metal substrates in the ship's hull and stiffeners.
Advanced adhesives can improve the design of joints and the assembly of disposable and reusable medical devices. A few of the more widely used joint designs for adhesively bonding similar and ...
