Shear Test

In addition to single-axis tensile loading, shear loads also occur in this application and can quickly cause a joint to part. Shear tests on joined parts or specimens are therefore essential, particularly where riveted joints are involved. Accurate load application is essential to prevent other forces arising in
addition to the shear force and distorting results. Zwick works with the customer to develop a specification for the correct gripping of the specimen or components and then produces the required arrangement. These testing devices can be simple or very complex, but always fulfill their requirements.
