7、rminology E6 are applicable to the terms used inthis test method.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjecting a full thicknessor machined rectangular test specimen to single shear force tofailure in a test fixture using a tension testing machine.Theshear strength is calculated
8、 from the maximum force requiredto fracture the specimen.5.Significance and Use5.1 The intent of this test method is to provide a means ofmeasuring the ultimate shear strength of thin aluminum alloywrought and cast products.It is recognized that the loadingconditions developed by this test method,an
9、d by most others,are not ideal in that they do not strictly satisfy the definitionsof pure shear.However,rarely do pure shear conditions exist instructures.NOTE1Results from this test method are not interchangeable withresults from Test Methods B565 and B769.Shear strengths obtained bythis test meth
