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, ...

There are a variety of test methods that characterize the properties of adhesive bonds between two similar or dissimilar material layers. The differences between the methods relate to the stress ...

This video shows Admet’s adhesive lap joint shear strength test similar to ASTM D1002. Shear joints provide uniform stresses across the bond area thus optimizing the strength of joints. The shear ...

Understand shear, tack, and peel to get the most out of PSAs. Mechanical fasteners are widely used to quickly and easily assemble components. However, they require machined holes that ultimately alter ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.
