AITM 1-0019 — Tensile lap shear strength of composite joints (single lap shear)

← Back to all standards

AITM 1-0019 is an Airbus Test Method commonly used to evaluate the tensile lap-shear strength of bonded composite or metallic joints. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What AITM 1-0019 Covers

It measures the shear strength of an adhesively bonded lap joint loaded in tension, per the Airbus procedure for qualifying adhesives and bonded assemblies.

How the Test Is Run

A bonded lap specimen is pulled in tension so the adhesive carries shear until failure, and the lap-shear strength is calculated from the failure load and bond area.
