Steel Nickel-Plated Sandwich Core Shear Testing Fixtures

 The force is transmitted through the specimen with bonded loading plates. The displacement results in a shear force on the sandwich core. This test method also covers the determination of the shear modulus associated with strains in a plane normal to the facings. Steel Nickel-Plated Sandwich Core Shear Testing Fixtures is a testing specification that determines the shear properties of sandwich construction core materials associated with shear distortion of planes parallel to the facings. Shear force is applied on a sandwich core or sandwich panel parallel to the plane of its faces. Core shear modulus, stress, and strength are reported in terms of the nominal shear area of the core. This test method provides a standard method of obtaining sandwich core shear data for material specifications, sandwich panel design, research and development, and quality assurance.
