ASTM B565 and B769 Aluminum Shear Test Strain Map

Watch as we capture a strain map during shear testing of an aluminum bolt. Shear testing is a critical method for evaluating material performance, and this demonstration highlights one of the most common and straightforward approaches to measuring lateral shear strength.

Understanding shear behavior is essential across industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing—where bolts, fasteners, and structural components must perform under stress.
