ABSTRACT:
A back-to-back, single lap-joint test fixture and method provides for uniform shear strength determination in a lap-joint area at an adhesive bond plane between a low-modulus rubber-like elastic material substrate and a stiff panel both defining a single lap-joint specimen, two of which are disposed back-to-back with the rubber substrates being constrained from lateral deformation by respective aluminum housings each having a load-transferring lip pushing upon a substrate also being pulled by load transferring dowel pins pulling upon the rubber substrate while with a restraining clamp that restrains transverse movement of the housing and rubber substrate all so as to produce only shear-type failures based on the near-incompressible nature of the rubber materials in the two back-to-back single lap-joint specimens.
