Are there any existing experiments for non-axial tensile testing?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for non-axial tensile testing of bolts to understand the effects of load applied at various angles. The original poster acknowledges the complexity due to the bolts being grouted and seeks existing experiments that specifically address this type of testing. They mention finding relevant studies for composite materials but note that these do not align with their requirements for larger-scale tests. References to historical experiments by Munse and Cox (1956) and Steeve and Wingate (2012) are provided, but further information on similar larger-scale tests is requested. The inquiry highlights a gap in available research for non-axial tensile testing of bolts.

Hi guys,

So say I want to perform tensile tests on a bolt, but want to see what the effect of applying the load at various angles to the axis of the bolt would be. It's kindabutnotreally a shear test... I realize that if I had complete knowledge of the material properties of the bolt I could probably figure it out, but it's more complicated than that because the bolt is grouted.

Does anyone know if any kind of intentionally-misaligned tensile test experiment exists? I've found some for composite materials but they consider "non-axial" to mean that the fibres are aligned at an angle to the test axis and generally examine small samples.

Thanks.

Found some stuff on combined shear/tensile tests for the people of the far future who see this post:
Munse and (I love this name) Hugh Cox, 1956:

Steeve and Wingate (NASA), 2012:

Any further info would be appreciated, especially larger-scale experiments.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
