The mechanical properties of engineering materials determines their application and serviceability. The designing of a test rig is aimed to estimate mechanical properties of materials. It is designed to evaluate shear strength and bending behavior by using combine action of compression-shear loading. Test rig features attachments and fixtures to conduct different tests by application of compressive force. The test specimen taken under observation is of smaller cross section which helps to lower the effort required. The estimated values can be rectified by using different methods like Split-Hopkinson pressure-shear testing method, mathematical model, simulation software etc. This paper represents key parameters of shear behavior of specimen under different testing conditions and using them for manufacturing of a test rig for evaluation of the same.

Compression-shear loading, Split-Hopkinson pressure-shear testing, bending behavior, Truss etc.
