ASTM D8067/D8067M, Standard Test Method for In-Plane Shear Properties of Sandwich Panels Using a Picture Frame Fixture, is the test method for shear properties.
ASTM D8067/D8067M Standard Test Method for In-Plane Shear Properties of Sandwich Panels Using a Picture Frame Fixture
At a Glance
Document type: Test Method.
Edition: active, current edition D8067/D8067M-17.
Property determined: shear properties.
Values reported: apparent in-plane shear strength, stiffness properties of flat sandwich constructions with composite face sheets, using a picture frame fixture.
Scope
Determination of apparent in-plane shear strength and stiffness properties of flat sandwich constructions with composite face sheets, using a picture frame fixture.
Core forms include continuous bonding surfaces such as balsa wood and foams and discontinuous surfaces such as honeycomb.
What the Result Tells You
A test to ASTM D8067/D8067M returns apparent in-plane shear strength, stiffness properties of flat sandwich constructions with composite face sheets and using a picture frame fixture. Each value is reported against the specimen geometry and the conditions the method fixes, which is what makes results from two laboratories directly comparable.
Because the numbers depend on those fixed conditions, a result is only meaningful when the report names the standard, the edition and any options the method allows.

Reading the Designation
ASTM D8067/D8067M: a dual designation. One half carries the inch-pound version and the other the SI version. The two systems are used independently, never mixed inside a single report.
When a drawing, purchase order or quality procedure cites this document, the test setup, the specimen and the report follow that citation.
