    This document summarizes an experiment to determine the ultimate shear strength of an aluminum specimen under single and double shear loading. In single shear testing, the specimen failed under a load of 33,600 N, corresponding to an ultimate shear strength of 297.24 N/mm^2. In double shear, the failure load was 56,800 N, with an ultimate shear strength of 251.24 N/mm^2. The experiment demonstrated that the load required for failure is higher under double shear compared to single shear loading. The results provide insight into the shear strength of aluminum and its suitability for applications involving shearing forces.

    Experiment No. 9
    Shearing Test

    I. Objective: Determine the Ultimate Shear Strength of the given specimen in single shear
    and double shear.

    II. Apparatus: Universal Testing Machine and Vernier Caliper

    Universal Testing Machine

    Vernier Caliper
    III. Materials: Aluminum

    Test Specimen

    IV. Procedures:

    For Single Shear:


    1. Before conducting the experiment, always prepare your PPE that is appropriate fo the
    experiment to be conducted.
    2. Prepare all the necessary materials for the experiment form apparatus down to the
    specimen.
    3. Measure the dimensions and parameters of the specimen to be studied.
    4. Next, the shear dice should be placed inside the shear plate while making sure that it
    is properly positioned in the shear box.
    5. To begin the experiment, place the specimen in the middle of the shear dice with the
    other shear dice on the opposite side of the shear box.
    6. Then, Put the whole shear box in the UTM positioned between the middle crosshead
    and lower table.
    7. To start gathering the data, initiate the machine and press “down button” in the
    control box, the experimenter should start controlling the machine guiding it to the
    lower middle crosshead which in result would touch the shear box.
    8. After the process is done, take the load and restore the machine’s original
    displacement.
    9. Next, press the “on button” which will gradually release the control valve to apply the
    load.
    10. Record the data obtained from the load and display readings
    11. Continue the process until the specimen will experience failure.
    12. Upon reaching the load maximum value, it will suddenly drop.
    13. From that point, release the left valve then press “up button” which will move the
    middle crosshead upward after that, recover the specimen from the UTM machine.
    14. The same process is to be followed for the double shear testing.

    V. Data Gathering and Analysis:

    Given Parameters:
    Diameter of the specimen = 12 mm
    Factor of Safety = 3

    Solutions:

    For Single Shear:

    Load 33 ,600 N
    Shear Strength = , N /mm2=
    Cross sectional Area 113.04 mm2

    N
    Shear Strength = 297.24
    mm2

    Ultimate Shear Strength


    , N 2 297.24 N /mm2
    Safe Shear Strength = /mm =¿
    Factor of Safety 3

    Safe Shear Strength = 99.08 N /mm2


    For Double Shear:

    Load 56,800 N
    Shear Strength = , N /mm2=
    2× Cross sectional Area 2 ×113.04 mm 2

    Shear Strength = 251.24 N /mm 2

    Ultimate Shear Strength 2 251.24 N /mm2


    Safe Shear Strength = , N /mm =
    Factor of Safety 3

    Safe Shear Strength = 83.75 N /mm2

    FOR SINGLE SHEAR:


    Diameter (mm) Cross-sectional Failure Load PU Ultimate Shear Safe Shear
    Area (mm2) kN N Strength ( Strength (
    N /mm2 ) N /mm2 )
    12 113.04 33.6 33,600 297.24 99.08

    FOR DOUBLE SHEAR:


    Diameter (mm) Cross-sectional Failure Load PU Ultimate Shear Safe Shear
    Area (mm2) kN N Strength ( Strength (
    N /mm2 ) N /mm2 )
    12 113.04 56.8 56,800 251.24 83.75
    VI. Observation:
    From the experiment conducted, I observed that there is quite a difference in
    terms of shear dice being used. Two shearing dices was used for the single shearing
    experiment on the aluminum which will show a single shear resistance. In the double
    shear experiment, it used three shearing dices which was divided into 2 to show double
    shearing. I also observed that as the specimen’s displacement and load has direct
    proportionality which means an increase in displacement also increases the load. The
    results ultimately show the ability of the aluminum to resist shearing effect.

    VII. Conclusion:
    After gathering the necessary data, it can be said with certain conviction that in
    single shear, the load it takes for a certain material to fail is smaller compared to the
    double shear. This implies that a certain material’s ability to carry a load is more effective
    in the double shear than in single shear. Thus, shearing test will determine the shear
    strength of a certain material and by shear strength, it means the maximum shear stress
    that the material can withstand before the occurrence of failure which will help to
    determine which type of materials to be used especially for fasteners, friction joints, and
    drive keys which require specific shear stress for it to be used.
