Development of test tools to be used in high temperature shear tests of thin wall composite materials
The paper outlines the results of the development of the test tools to be used in shear tests of thin-wall composite materials under high temperatures. The calculation methods and the configuration of the newly developed test tools are discussed. Drawings and the general outline of the test tools are shown. Analysis of the experimental data and the stress strain curves obtained for test samples of the thin-wall composite material are presented. With the newly developed test tools, it is possible to perform shear tests of test samples of thin-wall composite materials over a wide temperature range, namely, under RT to 2000 ºC and even higher temperatures.
