New in-plane and interlaminar shear test methods for fiber reinforced composites

A new compact double-notched specimen for in-plane shear testing of isotropic, anisotropic and composite materials was developed. A preliminary test of the specimen was performed on a cross-ply laminate. High sensitivity moire interferometry was used to determine the shear and normal strains on the...
