“…Several testing methods have been developed to assess the properties of materials, including single-lap shear tests Adams, 1989;Pinto et al, 2009) and peel tests (Kaelble, 1992;Thouless and Jensen, 1992). An alternative approach involves the use of a napkin-ring specimen (Bossler et al, 1968;Liechti and Hayashi, 1989;Chai, 1993Chai, , 2004 along with a modified tensile/torque test method to mitigate stress concentration effects (Richardson et al, 2003;Mahnken and Schlimmer, 2005;Spaggiari et al, 2013;Teutenberg et al, 2013). However, this technique requires an accurate biaxial testing apparatus, which is only available to a limited number of research institutions.…”
