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 ...

Rohit Ramnath, Application Engineer at Master Bond, talks to AZoM about lap shear strength and how significant is this property for adhesives. Some of the measures of the strength for an epoxy, ...

The mechanical properties and damage evolution of quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete under stress, have received widespread attention. In particular, crack propagation is a crucial factor in ...

Asphalt concrete core rockfill dam utilizes an asphalt concrete core as anti-seepage structure. Uneven deformation could produce at core wall-transition interface due to differences in material ...

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 ...

Liquefaction triggering often reduces the shear strength of a soil so much as to induce damaging and potentially catastrophic displacements (e.g., flow sliding) and bearing capacity failures. The ...
