By shear area (cross-sectional area in square millimetres), I meant the value that will be used to divide with the breaking force to calculate tensile lap shear strength. The foil tears outside the bonded region and I am confused how to calculate the tensile lap shear strength which should be be...

Hi, I am new to the tensile testing and still learning and would really appreciate the answer to a problem that I have been having. I performed a lap-shear test on two foils of copper bonded in single lap joint. The copper broke before the bond does giving me a force of say 500N. I want to...
