Module 8: Composite Testing
  Lecture 39: Shear and Flexural Testing
 

Introduction


In the previous lecture we have seen some methods to determine the in-plane shear modulus as well as shear strength. Some methods were easy at both experimental as well as analytical level, whereas some were easy on analytical level but difficult at experimental level. These methods have their own pros and cons. In this lecture we will see some more methods to determine the shear properties. Finally we will see methods to determine the flexural properties along with shear properties.
