When crazing limits the ductility in tension, large plastic strains may still be possible in compression shear banding (Fig. 23.12). Within each band a finite shear has taken place. As the number of bands increases, the total overall strain accumulates. 

Texture measurements Texture of canned carrots was measured using Instron Universal Testing Machine (Model 1011) fitted with Kramer shear cell. Thirty grams of drained carrot cubes were evenly placed in the Kramer shear cell and were compressed, sheared and extruded using a crosshead speed of 100 mm/min. Each measurement was repeated 10 times and the mean was used to express the firmness of carrot cubes in Newton(N). 

Flexural strength is determined using beam-shaped specimens that are supported longways between two rollers. The load is then applied by either one or two rollers. These variants are called the three-point bend test and the four-point bend test, respectively. The stresses set up in the beam are complex and include compressive, shear and tensile forces. However, at the convex surface of the beam, where maximum tension exists, the material is in a state of pure tension (Berenbaum Brodie, 1959). The disadvantage of the method appears to be one of sensitivity to the condition of the surface, which is not surprising since the maximum tensile forces occur in the convex surface layer.

Stress/strain relationships are commonly studied in tension, compression, shear or indentation. Because in theory all stress/strain relationships except those at breaking point are a function of elastic modulus, it can be questioned as to why so many modes of test are required. The answer is partly because some tests have persisted by tradition, partly because certain tests are very convenient for particular geometry of specimens and partly because at high strains the physics of rubber elasticity is even now not fully understood so that exact relationships between the various moduli are not known. A practical extension of the third reason is that it is logical to test using the mode of deformation to be found in practice. 

Stress relaxation measurements can be made in compression, shear or tension, but in practice a distinction is made as regards the reason for making the test which is generally related to the mode of deformation. The most important type of product in which stress relaxation is a critical parameter is a seal or gasket. These usually operate in compression and, hence, stress relaxation measurements in compression are used to measure sealing efficiency. 

Flexometers or heat build-up fatigue apparatus operate in compression, shear or a combination of the two and various designs have been in use and standardised, particularly by ASTM, for many years. The test piece geometry and deformation cycle used are, inevitably, somewhat arbitrary and this perhaps contributed to it being much later before there was an international or British standard method. 

Tyres are very definitely fatigued during use and, as mentioned for fabric/rubber adhesion above, it is very important to carry out dynamic tests to assess bond efficiency. Methods have not apparently been standardised but a variety of procedures have been reported71 79 Some workers have used the same or a similar test piece as in static tests and applied a cyclic tensile stress or strain, whilst others have used some form of fatigue tester operating in compression/shear to repeatedly stress or strain cord/rubber composite, or even to flex samples in the form of a belt. Khromov and Lazareva80 describe a method using test pieces cut from tyres. 

Particle comminution occurs owing to a compression-shear action produced by the rotating disks and grinding media. 

When the experimentalist set an ambitious objective to evaluate micromechanical properties quantitatively, he will predictably encounter a few fundamental problems. At first, the continuum description which is usually used in contact mechanics might be not applicable for contact areas as small as 1 -10 nm [116,117]. Secondly, since most of the polymers demonstrate a combination of elastic and viscous behaviour, an appropriate model is required to derive the contact area and the stress field upon indentation a viscoelastic and adhesive sample [116,120]. In this case, the duration of the contact and the scanning rate are not unimportant parameters. Moreover, bending of the cantilever results in a complicated motion of the tip including compression, shear and friction effects [131,132]. Third, plastic or inelastic deformation has to be taken into account in data interpretation. Concerning experimental conditions, the most important is to perform a set of calibrations procedures which includes the (x,y,z) calibration of the piezoelectric transducers, the determination of the spring constants of the cantilever, and the evaluation of the tip shape. The experimentalist has to eliminate surface contamination s and be certain about the chemical composition of the tip and the sample.

Every application needs to be evaluated on its merits for the range of properties required. A database of previously successful applications is a distinct advantage. An analysis of the main attributes of an application is needed, e.g., compression, shear, static, dynamic, or wear. Many of these factors are not on the supplier s data sheets and the information needs to be obtained from the supplier or by experimentation.

Compression shear tests are also commonly used. ASTM D 2182 describes a simple compression specimen geometry and the compression shear test apparatus. The compression shear design also reduces bending and, therefore, peeling at the edges of the laps. Higher and more realistic strength values are obtained with the compression shear specimen over the standard lap shear specimen. 

Materials selection process can be depicted in terms of Figure 1.40. Materials selection involves many factors that have to be optimized for a particular application. The foremost consideration is the cost of the material and its applicability in the environmental conditions so that integrity can be maintained during the lifetime of the equipment. When the material of construction is metallic in nature, the chemical composition and the mechanical properties of the metal are significant. Some of the important mechanical properties are hardness, creep, fatigue, stiffness, compression, shear, impact, tensile strength and wear. 

Texture-measuring instmments can be classified according to their use of penetration, compression, shear, or flow.
