Computational-experimental method to determine the averaged elastic and strength characteristics of fillers of multilayered structures in shear

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

An analysis of known schemes of specimens for testing fillers of multilayered structures in shear to determine their stiffness and strength characteristics is presented. Based on results of a numerical simulation of the stress–strain state formed in the filler of test specimens in shear experiments, a refined scheme of their design, fastening, and loading is suggested, which ensures the realization of practically zero transverse compressive stresses and a constant tangential stress along the filler length (except for the short zones of edge effects). A computational-experimental method for determining the stiffness and strength characteristics of the fillers in shear is offered, which is based on a synthesis and combined use of data of physical experiment and results of computational simulations.
