Shear test

The shear test is used to investigate the loading capacity of a material against shearing .

For this purpose, a defined round rod is clamped in a shearing device and subjected to a constantly increasing shear force until it is sheared off. The shear force F _m is measured and divided over the entire shear area S ₀ . This gives the shear strength τ :

${\displaystyle T={\frac {F_{m}}{2\cdot S_{0}}}}$
