The latest of the ASTM standards for determining the shear strength and shear stiffness of materials — composite materials in particular — has just been released. The V-Notched Rail shear test was ...
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 ...
Bolted Splice Details for Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled (Part I: Component Level Test)
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 ...
The traditional method for determining yield stress on a rotational rheometer or viscometer was by fitting models to the measured rheograms and extrapolating to zero shear rate. This article discusses ...
This technique is implemented in Textechno’s FIMATEST system. Dr. Ulrich Mörschel, CEO of Textechno, explains: “Up to now, a characterization of the interfacial shear strength according to standards ...
