How we carry out shear testing
Our comprehensive shear testing service is one of the most efficient and effective methods of testing fixings and fastenings. Often, shear forces cause one surface of a specific material or structure to move in one direction and the other surface to move in the opposite direction. This ensures that the material involved is stressed in a simple sliding motion. Our unique, price and accurate tests differ greatly from compression and tension tests, as the forces applied are parallel to the two contact surfaces, meanwhile in compression and tension tests, they are perpendicular to the contact surface.
Why is shear testing important for my southampton premises?
Shear testing and stress testing is absolutely pivotal, based on the fact that they can give you an accurate measure of the shear strength of the structure or material and therefore the maximum shear stress that it is able to withstand before failure begins. As a matter of fact, this is one of the most significant design characteristics of a variety of fastenings and fixings like screws and bolts. For example, if a small fastener fails in shear, it could potentially lead to a much bigger chain of failures that could even lead to the entire destruction of a large structure or building. That is why it is absolutely essential to have your fastenings and fixings accurately tested by experienced professionals, like the ones here at Southern Drilling.
A wide range of materials tested across southampton
There are an extensive range of different materials that are constantly tested in shear, including layered composites, adhesives and rigid substrates. The common rigid substrates that may be shear tested may be composed of woods, metals, ceramics, plastics and composites but usually come in a solid form that is often used as fasteners or building materials. As well as this, we will also test adhesives, as these are likely to experience shear stress when the materials are pulled in opposite directions in an attempt to slide them apart.
