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 ...

In my previous column, I noted that the shear strength and shear stiffness of the core material in a sandwich panel can be determined in situ while performing flexural tests to evaluate other sandwich ...

Many test methods are available for measuring the shear properties of composite materials. The V-notched methods are currently among the most popular, in part because they can produce a relatively ...
