Abstract

A good understanding regarding fastener behavior and mechanical properties of a fastener is important during designing of a structure to make sure the structure is safe. Fasteners are essential components used in many sectors such as automation, manufacturing, infrastructure, medical and others. Due to this reason, uncountable testing of fastener is published to determine the standard and quality of various fasteners. In this research, design and develop of a shearing test fixture, several considerations such as the specimen properties, the design characteristics of the fixture, and the safety aspects have to be examined and investigated. The main goals of this research are to produce a safe and convenient fixture for single and double shear tests.Study on the requirement of shear joint is important in designing a fixture in order to get an accurate result from the test. In the early stage, decision ofmaterials selection, fabrication process and specimen selection is determined. The shear test results carried out by using the designed test fixture were not compatible with the expected results. Therefore, analysis and inspection of the failure of the fixture is carried out in order to improve the future design.
