  • Testing can be conducted using standard tension/compression mechanical test equipment

    • Should ask the university (specifically E3) about the use of a universal testing machine (UTM) which is used to test tensile strength and compressive strength of materials.

...

Testing Procedures:

  • Prepare at least 3 adhesive joint specimens

  • Place onto tensile testing machine and load until failure

  • Record stress and calculate an average overlap shear strength

  • Review data to check any abnormalities in data, these may suggest poor specimen preparation
