the effect of gauge length on peel stress in a single lap joint
In a single lap shear test specimen, does altering the gauge length (or the overall length of the specimen) have any effect on the peel stress? ie) would a longer specimen produce a greater peel stress, and cause the specimen to fail sooner? Sorry, I forgot to mention. Assuming the bond area...- Chezza
