The ASTM D5961 standard describes several test procedures to obtain data on the bearing response of pinned or fastened joints using multi-directional polymer matrix composite laminates reinforced by high-modulus fibers.
Testing Procedure
The test methods are as follows. A is double-shear tensile loading, B is single-shear tensile or compressive loading of a two-piece specimen, C is single-shear tensile loading of a one-piece specimen, and D is double-shear compressive loading. The properties obtained from this testing standard are the ultimate bearing strength, the offset bearing strength and the stress-strain curve.

Recommended Test Machine
Force range of 5 kN to 600 kN (1,125 lbf to 135,000 lbf)
Adjustable test space
The most popular choice for static tension and compression tests
These dual column testers are available in both tabletop and floor standing models
