ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring a characteristic of a material in a structure is the subject of the present invention. A known stress relationship S=TC/J is utilized in practicing the method of the present invention. In the foregoing formula S=strength in p.s.i.; T=torque force in pounds/inch; C=distance to the point of interest in inches; and J=.pi./2r.sup.4 where J is the polar moment of inertia for a circle of radius r (in inches). A drive head is adhesively secured to a segment of the structure to be tested. A known torque force is then applied to the drive head and this known force is translated into a measurement of the material characteristic utilizing the formula indicated. The method may be utilized to test the ultimate shear strength by failing the material or may be utilized to measure strength up to a design criteria without carrying the material to failure. Other material characteristics may also be measured utilizing the known formula set forth above and other known relationships.
