Annex
A Specimen preparation

Defines a method for determination of the in-plane shear stress/shear strain response, including the in-plane shear modulus and shear strength, of fibre-reinforced plastic composites by the +/- tension test procedure. Intended to be used with thermoset and thermoplastic matrix laminates made from unidirectional layers and/or fabric including unidirectional fabrics where the fibres are oriented at +/- 45 deg to the specimen axis, when the lay-up is symmetrical and balanced about the specimen mid-plane.
