This video demonstrates the functioning of Admet’s ASTM D1876 T-Peel adhesive peel test. In this test, the relative peel resistance of adhesive bonds between flexible adhesives is determined through a ...

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 ...

In my three preceding columns, I discussed the testing of sandwich panels as unit structures. This included flexural and shear testing of beams and panels. However, such tests — and hardware ...

Although there are indirect methods for determining the through-thickness tensile strength of a solid laminate (see “Learn More,” at right), direct loading can be achieved even if the laminate is thin ...
