Summary of Test Method4.1 In-plane shear strength, as determined by this testmethod, is measured by applying a co
8、mpressive load to anotched specimen of uniform width. The specimen is loadededgewise in a supporting jig of the same description as thatreferenced in Test Method D 695 for testing thin specimens.

Significance and Use5.1 Shear tests of various kinds are widely used in thereinforced plastics industry to assess the strength of thereinforcement-
10、to-resin bond in polyester-, vinyl ester-, andepoxy-resin composites. In addition to their importance for thegeneration of data for research and development, qualitycontrol, and specification purposes, such tests are of fundamen-tal value to the fibrous reinforcement industry, since they canbe used
11、to assess the potential of new sizing systems for thesurface treatment of glass fibers.5.2 This test method is useful for establishing the shearstrength of laminates or other reinforced plastics havingrandomly dispersed fiber reinforcement. While the test alsolends itself to parallel-fiber reinforce
12、d plastics, it has beendesigned to accommodate nonparallel-fiber reinforced materi-als that cannot be tested satisfactorily by the short-beamprocedure described in Test Method D 2344.6.

Precision and Bias13.1 Table 1
32、 is based on a round robin conducted in 2001 inaccordance with Practice E 691, involving two materials testedby five laboratories. For each material, all the samples wereprepared at one source, but the individual specimens wereprepared at the laboratories which tested them. Each test resultwas the a
33、verage of five individual determinations. Each labo-ratory obtained four test results for each material. (WarningThe explanation of “r” and “R” in 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 are onlyintended to present a meaningful way of considering theapproximate precision of this test method. The data in Table 1should not
34、 be applied to acceptance or rejection of materials, asthese data apply only to the materials tested in the round robinand are unlikely to be rigorously representative of other lots,formulations, conditions, materials, or laboratories. Users ofthis test method should apply the principles outlined in
35、 PracticeE 691 to generate data specific to their materials and laboratory(or between specific laboratories). The principles of 13.2-13.2.2 would then be valid for such data.)13.2 Concept of “r” and “R” in Table 1If Srand SRhavebeen calculated from a large enough body of data, and for testresults th
36、at were averages from testing five specimens for eachtest result, then:13.2.1 Repeatability:Two results obtained within one laboratory shall be judgednot equivalent if they differ by more than the “r” value for thatmaterial. “r” is the interval representing the critical differencebetween two test re
37、sults for the same material, obtained by thesame operator using the same equipment on the same day in thesame laboratory.13.2.2 Reproducibility:Two test results obtained by different laboratories shall bejudged not equivalent if they differ by more than the “R” valuefor that material. “R” is the int
38、erval representing the criticaldifference between two test results for the same material,obtained by different operators using different equipment indifferent laboratories.13.3 Any judgement in accordance with 13.2.1 or 13.2.2would have an approximate 95% (0.95) probability of beingcorrect.13.4 Ther
39、e are no recognized standards by which to esti-mate bias of this method.14.
