Shear Strength Measurement of AV119 Epoxy-Joined SiC by Different Torsion Tests

摘要

The results of an experimental investigation on epoxy-joined silicon carbide tested in shear mode by seven different configurations of torsion tests are presented and compared to results obtained by asymmetric four-point bending. All samples have been joined by an epoxy adhesive (Araldite AV119) chosen to obtain several joined samples in a reasonable time. Advantages and disadvantages of each configuration are discussed with the aim of finding a suitable method to measure the shear strength of joined components.
