As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

The latest of the ASTM standards for determining the shear strength and shear stiffness of materials — composite materials in particular — has just been released. The V-Notched Rail shear test was ...
