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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...
