The modified Iosipescu shear test for orthotropic materials

AbstractThe Iosipescu shear test, also known as asymmetric four point bending of a V-notched beam,is frequently used for measuring in-plane shear properties of composites. The ASTM standard(ASTM D-5379-05) regulates how the test is to be performed. It prescribes a notch openingangle of 90° independe...
