Testing methods for shear modulus of toughened glass

[Kal U]

Hi all,

I have carried out several torsion tests on toughened and laminated glass beams. The shear modulus values calculated from these seem fine, but I am looking to verify these against other shear test methods for toughened glass now. So far haven't found too much as far as standard test procedures go .. is anyone familiar with any such details (shear block test etc)? Thanks.

Regards,
KU.
