ISO 11003-1 Structural Adhesives Shear Test Machine

ISO 11003-1:2001

Adhesives — Determination of shear behavior of structural adhesives — Part 1: Torsion test method using butt-bonded hollow cylinders

This part of ISO 11003 specifies a shear test for the characterization of adhesives in a bond. The shear stress/strain properties of the adhesive ( including shear modulus) are useful for advanced design work, e.g., in finite element analysis methods.

Principle:

The shear deformation of adhesive in an annular bond between two hollow cylinders, and the corresponding torque, are measured and recorded up to failure of the joint.
