I am looking to design lap test with adhesive gel (low modulus) and wanted to know if anyone has used ASTM F2255. I am going to test a lap shear sample in tensile mode
I have done quite a lot of bonding of tissue and have not used this standard. Indeed I was not aware of it (it is newer than my work) and cannot see more than the introduction now. It looks as if it might be useful, but bonding of tissue is such a non-uniform subject, and will depend on the substrate so much that I find it hard to think how it could be properly standardised. A challenge with tissue is that it is hard to find a controlled size and shape given the nature of the material. Good luck!
