<p>This document specifies a test method for determining the shear behaviour of an adhesive in a single lap joint bonded assembly when subjected to a tensile force.</p>
<p>The test is performed on specimens consisting of thick, rigid adherends, with a short length of overlap, in order to obtain the most uniform distribution of shear stresses possible and to minimize other stress states which initiate failure.</p>
<p>This test method may be used to determine:</p>
<p>— the shear-stress against shear-strain curve to failure of the adhesive;</p>
<p>— the shear modulus of the adhesive;</p>
<p>— other adhesive properties that can be derived from the stress/strain curve such as secant shear modulus and maximum shear stress;</p>
<p>— the effect of temperature, environment, test speed, etc., on these properties.</p>
<p>This document does not apply in case of adhesion failure.</p>
