This ASTM D905 Lapped Block Shear Test Method (ASTM Figure) was developed primarily for determining the adhesive bond strength of wood and similar materials. A compressive loading is applied to generate the shear stress, and two rectangular blocks of equal size, staggered ¼”, are bonded together. A guillotine-type loading is applied to shear off one block from the other. The ASTM D905 test fixture is shown in the following photograph. The loading surface of the guillotine assembly is free to rotate relative to the remainder of the assembly, to accommodate any non-parallelism of the top and bottom surfaces of the bonded specimen.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
Model: #GF1044-788
The GF1044-788 fixture meets the requirements of ASTM F1044 for shear testing calcium phosphate and metallic coatings by the aligned interface method. The bonded surface of the specimen is aligned parallel to the loading direction, shearing the interface when a tension load is applied to the grips.

Model: #GF2255
The GF2255 shear fixture meets the requirements of ASTM F2255 for testing the strength of tissue adhesives in lap shear. The fixture manufactured with stainless steel for use with saline baths. Tissue substrates of up to 2 in. length can be bonded to the fixture, giving a substrate length to overlap ratio up to a 5:1 and allowing for use with very strong adhesives.

Model: #GC273-193
GC273-193 is specially designed to meet the requirements of ASTM C273; shear testing of sandwich core materials. The test specimen is bonded to the inside faces of the fixture. The thickness of the test specimen and fixture must be such that the line of tension or compression passes through the corners of the test material. Compression fixtures are also available for the C273 test.

Model: #GD5379-600
GD5379-600 is a four-point asymmetric flexure fixture which tests for shear properties by means of the V-notched beam method. Each half of the fixture contains a wedge-action grip which lightly clamps one half of the test specimen across the specimen width while simultaneously supporting the specimen on its back face. One of the grips, normally the lower half, is mounted on a base plate which also supports a linear bearing shaft, while the other grip, normally in the upper position, contains a linear bearing which mounts over the shaft on the base. Each element is attached to or supported by one of the testing machine heads. A specified gap is left unsupported between fixture halves. An alignment tool is provided to ensure that the specimen notch is aligned with the line of action of the loading fixture.

Model: #GD7078-722
The GD7078-722 shear fixture meets the requirement of ASTM D7078 for testing shear properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials. The v-notched test specimen is clamped into each half of the fixture and is sheared through tensile loading of the GD7078-722.

Model: #GD3410
GD3410 fixture is for determining the compressive strength of polymer matrix composite materials. GD3410 transmits force to the specimen via tapered rectangular wedge grips. The mating surfaces of the wedge grip assembly are polished, lubricated, and nick-free to ensure smooth sliding contact between the components. By using wedges of different thicknesses, specimens of varying thickness can be tested in this fixture.

Model: #GB565-396
GB565-396 is for shear testing aluminum rods and rivets, per ASTM B565. There are a number of strength requirements for the fixture set by ASTM. Including use of hardened steel with a hardness greater than 52 HRC. To ensure a proper shear, the radius of the shearing edges must be less than 0.0005 in. (0.013mm). ASTM also requires that fitted machined bolts are to be used to hold the components of the gripping device together. Finally, the clevises and tongue must fit properly.

Model: #GD732-712
GD732-712 meets ASTM D732 requirements for shear strength test tooling fixtures used for the punch-style shear test. The square plastic test specimens are fastened beneath the punch. The tooling holds the specimen in place while the punch is pushed down and through the plastic specimen.

Model: #GD5961-A
The GD5961-A fixture meets the requirements of ASTM D5961 for testing the bearing response of fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite laminates, using procedure A. A single fastener through the test specimen is acted on in double shear through tension loading of the test fixture.

ASTM Standard D 5961, 2010, Standard Test Method for Bearing Response of Polymer Matrix Composite Laminates, ASTM International
Model: #GD5961-B
The GD5961-B fixture meets the requirements of ASTM D5961 for testing the bearing response of fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite laminates, using procedure B. Testing procedure B requires a specimen composed of two halves joined by one or two centerline fasteners. GD5961-B is a support fixture for use with the stabilized configuration described by ASTM D5961 and can be utilized for both tension and compression loading.
