ASTM C273
Designed in compliance with the ASTM C273 standard, this test fixture is engineered for determining the shear properties of sandwich core materials. Featuring universal joint connections for self-adaptive alignment, it ensures the loading axis consistently passes through the diagonally opposite corners of the specimen. It is an essential tool for evaluating both continuous and discontinuous bonded core materials, providing critical data for sandwich panel design, research, and quality assurance.
Overview
Designed in accordance with the ASTM C273 standard, this fixture is applicable for the tensile and compressive shear testing of honeycomb composite materials. Through self-adaptive adjustment, the fixture maintains the loading force strictly along the diagonal of the specimen.
Design Features and Benefits
Applications
• Designed in compliance with the ASTM C273 standard, this fixture is applicable for a variety of sandwich structure core materials, including those with continuous bonding surfaces (such as balsa wood, foams, etc.) and those with discontinuous bonding surfaces (such as honeycomb structures, etc.). It evaluates the performance of sandwich core materials under shear loading, determining the shear strength parallel to the plane of the sandwich and the shear modulus associated with strain in a plane perpendicular to the facings. This provides robust support for the design, research and development, application, and quality assurance of sandwich panels.
