An Experimental Procedure for the Iosipescu Composite Specimen Tested in the Modified Wyoming Fixture

Series:

A detailed description is given of the experimental procedure for testing composite Iosipescu specimens in the modified Wyoming fixture. Specimen preparation and strain gage instrumentation are addressed. Interpretation of the experimental results is discussed. With the proper experimental procedure and setup, consistent and repeatable shear properties are obtained. Ho, Henjen and Tsai, Ming-Yi an
