9、by means of a loading nose at midpoint along thesupport span,as shown in Fig.2.4.2 The specimen is deflected until a shear failure occurs atthe midplane of the horizontally supported rod.Adjust the spanto achieve the required shear mode of failure.NOTE2Using a span of three times the diameter of rod
10、 typicallycauses shear failure.If needed,that span can be adjusted up to six timesthe diameter of the rod.5.Significance and Use5.1 Apparent shear strength determined by this test methodis useful for quality control and specification purposes.It isalso applicable to research and development programs
11、 con-cerned with interlaminar-shear strength.The apparent shearstrength obtained by this test method is not intended for designpurposes,but allowed to be utilized for comparative testing ofcomposite materials,if all failures are in horizontal shear.5.2 It is recommended that control samples be fabri
