“…A uniform shear stress state is generated in the adhesive layer of the ring specimen subjected to torsion. That is to say, a tensile/torque test method with a napkin-ring specimen has been developed so that the parameters of the failure criterion for multiaxial stress states can be calculated from experimental results to tune the ratio of applied tension and torque (Richardson et al, 2003, Mahnken and Schlimmer, 2005, Spaggiari, et al, 2013, Teutenberg, et al, 2013. Although this method can evaluate a failure criterion without a free-edge effect, a highly accurate biaxial testing machine, which few research institutions might possess, is required.…”
