In materials science, shear refers to a sliding failure that occurs along a flat plane of a sample. During shear testing, force is applied to a material in a parallel direction, rather than holding it in tension. Rajkot Metlab can perform a variety of shear testing methods and techniques, and we are committed to providing you with the most accurate results possible.
Shear testing is particularly important for materials that might experience a multi-directional force, such as fasteners, adhesives, or even composites. Testing is performed by applying a load to the material until the materials shears, or slides, apart. The point at which a sample fails is defined as its shear strength.
Shear strength is often used as a way to compare different materials to determine fitness for an application, or to ensure that all the materials being used in a system are uniform.
