Expert Commentary
Governs the Shear Testing of Thin Aluminum Alloy Products (<6.35 mm). Because thin sheets cannot be easily tested in double-shear fixtures, B831 uses a slotted specimen geometry. Our marketing should highlight the necessity of high-resolution strain measurement (DIC or specialized extensometry) to accurately capture the shear yield point in these thin-gauge materials.
