The purpose of shear testing is to determine the integrity of material and procedures used to attach two items together. This is done by applying a precisely applied and controlled shear force to the side of the item being tested. In the event of a failure, it is necessary to know the force at which the failure occurred. This information, along with the visual appearance of the separation, is used to determine the reason for the failure. 1, record 1, English, - shear%20testing
