This study examines the use of the electrical conductivity method for assessment of internal strain distribution in a simple shear specimen as a result of the shearing process. In this proposed technique, which enables one to assess the strain distribution pattern in the specimen, it is shown from a limited study that the strains developed in the simple shear test are not uniformly distributed, as has been suggested by some researchers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
