Abstract

Four methods of determining shear moduli on flat specimens are discussed. For each method the effect of the geometric parameters and the load range on the values of the shear moduli determined is estimated. Experimental values of the shear moduli obtained by each of these methods for the same materials are compared with the calculated values.
