Model Shearing 3 points bending
HOYTOM shear fixtures are designed to evaluate the shear strength of materials, an essential mechanical property in many industrial applications. Whether testing metals, polymers, composites, or adhesives, these fixtures accurately measure the force required to induce shear failure, in compliance with international standards (ISO, ASTM, EN).
With their robust, modular design, HOYTOM shear fixtures adapt to a wide range of specimens and test configurations, providing reliable, repeatable results for demanding applications.
3-point shear fixtures perform shear tests by applying a concentrated load to a specific area of the specimen. This configuration is ideal for evaluating the shear strength of brittle materials or composites.
Applications
- Shear tests on laminated materials (composites, plywood)
- Measurement of adhesive strength and bonded assemblies
- Research and development of new materials
Advantages
- Precision: Controlled load application for repeatable results
- Adaptability: Compatible with a wide range of specimens
- Standards compliance: Results aligned with international standards (ISO 14130, ASTM D732)
